Standard steel wheels came one of two ways, painted
to match the body color until March of 1971 at
which point they were all painted black, with
a small "dog dish hubcap" which only covered the
lug area; or they came painted black with a full
rim cover. The full rim cover came in three styles,
a simulated wire wheel (W15), deep dish (W13),
or deluxe (W11). On Challengers equipped with
a slant six or 318, the stock rim size was 14x5
inch.
• The Chrome Road wheel (option code W23)
was one optional wheel, and came in 14x5.5 inch.
This was also known as the Magnum 500 wheel.

which has become one of the most popular "Stock
wheels for restroration projects, and they came
as 14 X 5.5. They came with a plated center cap,
larger than before, and no beauty ring. |
