Thank you for the link. Since there are no specific dates on there, looks like 1970-1973’ish rims look to be very similar or even the same rim with just different part number, if that is the case, then I can probably find cores to work with. I would like to have correct looking, but does not need to be perfect originals for it. Though Tony would make dates and part numbers, I would want larger rims sizes like 15X8 and possibly larger for the rear. This info makes it easier to decide, hopefully I can source something that looks right for the car. Thanks again for the info and link. I miss old (I think his name was Frank or Dick) from Stockton Wheel. Before his tragic end, he was the local guy to have wheels made and customized and was super affordable. His family took over, but not sure how the quality is since his passing. Will have check them out and see how the work. Also, maybe there could be some 14’s rims that could be used as cores if everything look close in appearance.

The 72 wheel is 15 x 6.5 and uses a 15" center so the drop to reach the wheel spider (center section) is smaller. There are three nubs to hold on the center cap. The 70-71 450 wheel is 15 x 7 with a 14" center If you don't care about the nubs being 3 or 4 because the are going to be covered by a center cap then I would look for B100, D100 and W100. Various years would work. Then take them to Stockton Wheel. I've used them recently and I have born happy every time. They are getting a little pricey but quality looks good. M426

I am not sure which wheels are correct to be honest so I'm trying to get an idea what will and won't work or what wheels would be good donors for it. If anyone can shed some light on that and what donors are similar, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ron Ron, You trying to compare Apples and Oranges. You are trying to compare a Steel Wheel (450) to a Rallye wheel (070 for 72). Do they both use a 14" center? Yes they do. HOWEVER this is a question regarding STEEL rims, not Rallye wheels. The 72 steel wheel does have a 15" center. I have one sitting here along with multiple 450 wheels. Thanks M426

IMHO You are mistaken again, the rallye wheel is "071' the steel wheel is "070" and is same as a "450" Ron Ok thanks Ron. Obviously I was to lazy to go look at my two 071 wheels. Thanks for setting me right.

Morty I'm not sure by your reply if you are agreeing with me or being sarcastic because again you mention the "071" which is a rallye wheel and not what the OP has asked for. Mccannix has all the info. needed in his post above. I'm not here to fight with you I was just trying to provide information to the OP. No more no less. Ron

It's not the center that makes a 450 rim. It's the wide shoulder. Google an image; you'll see the difference. At one time Dr.Diff was using the outer hoops from a Buick(?) and welding in mopar centers as those rims had the wide shoulder (or whatever you want to call it). I almost think that you'd be better off buying the repo's and widening them. That's my plan.

Chrysler had other 15x7 steel wheels on their cars. I believe the Magnums in around 1978 had those Black 15x7s with the extra holes that are covered up once the Dog Dish Hub Caps go on it. It is a cheaper wheel to use if you do not need that part number near the valve stem. I was going to use them on my Cuda and use 15x8s on the back that are off I believe a Ram Charger.
