I have a 1971 Dodge Demon Sizzler. For those of you who dont know what a Sizzler was is was a package that Dodge did on the 71 Demons only and it had a cosmetic package that took special options and the amenities of a 340 Demon and put them on a standard Demon. My car came with Rallye wheels however when i purchased the car to restore it the original wheels were long gone. What would be the correct Rallyes that i would need for my car? Should i look for NOS/Used originals or just look to getting reproductions? If i go reproductions which is the best company/catalog to use?

Id go with used originals. they aren't that hard to find. NOS are going to be way expensive and reproductions have to be repainted to be correct anyway, and personally, Id try to use good originals over a repop anyday. should also mention that they reproduce the sbp centers too. keep in mind that the demon sizzlers didn't have trim rings. that should help save a buck. hope this helps

The 14" ralleys are easy to come by, and as mentioned above, check your build sheet to see if you had the optional trim rings. My Twister never had them

I remember reading in factory literature that sizzlers and twisters never had trim rings for their rallys. any pics of the car? sounds neat!

Stay away from parts suppliers and go directly to the wheel manufactures....I'm not certain who makes 14" ones because originals are so easy (cheap) to find. Place a want ad here and you'll probably get ten sets in a month.

I would get the center caps from PG Classics
