So, I have a T7 '69 roadrunner that is currently wearing mag 500 wheels. I kind of like the look of the steel wheel painted body color with hub caps.
So, what's you're preference???? Anything but body colored wheels and dog dishes/poverty caps....full hubcaps/wheel covers are ok

You can always buy a set and if it turns out you don't like them they are easy to sell later. Those Plymouth Division hubcaps are always going to be worth money to someone. I had a 60's Mustang years ago and it came with aluminum mags that I sold and replaced with another set. Later on I got bored with those and sold them to a co-worker an used the $$$ to buy a third set of wheels. Then when I realized I had a problem finding wheels I could live with I sold the car before I could buy a forth set.

I have 3 1970 models so far & just made a deal on a 4th. Body colored steelies with caps on 2, rallyes on one & steelies with lug nuts (6) on another, the newest addition. What they all came with originally stays.

I like Magnum 500s on more "dressy" cars with more chrome, also black cars.
I like body colored steelies on more "stripped down" models and high-impact bright colors.
Or whatever mood I happen to be in at the time.....

I also like the painted steelies with dog-dish on high impact and bright colors, but I like them even better with cop wheels.

If it has a vinyl top, or a lot of chrome, it needs more then the body color painted wheels. I've sported many with the Mag 500s, and many with the 70s Road Wheels and the screw on center caps & trim rings. Not a big fan of hub caps in any form, just give me chrome lug nuts and send the caps down the road. If it still has the black painted wheels, unless they are at least 7" wide, they just have to go. I like most mag wheels, but they too have to be matched to the car, some cars just don't look right with some mag wheels. Gene

I say Road Wheels (Mopar Magnum 500, 14" units with trim ring) . . . however, I went with 15" units with Trim rings, from Specialty Wheel before they got bought by Coker . . . .
