Rim Selection for the New Challenger?

Rim Selection for the New Challenger?
Hey all,
I might be the only one, and don't get me wrong; I think the rims on the new Challenger are quite well designed ...I wouldn't complain.
However; has anyone heard anything about what kind of rims there will be?
I'm a huge fan of General Lee (I know, it's a Charger [don't get me started on how I think Dodge messed that car up]) ....anyway, back to my question: those old style rims on the Duke boys' General Lee are sweet...with the black spokes! That would be sweet.
...since I mentioned it, I personally think Dodge designed the Charger the way the did because they knew they had the Challenger brewing in the tea pot...no sense in having 2 cars almost looking the same...again...what was the difference between the two anyway? Challenger vs. Charger?

If the fitment was correct I'd like to see these mounted on the new Challenger.

I am with Rob on keeping the concept car wheels the way they are.
I am also getting use to the larger tires also so keep them too.
I don't like the older style Cragar wheels unless I had an old Challenger so let's move on to the newer wheels.

Jeremiah,
Not exactly what I meant. Make a new version of the old-style Charger rims. Revise, re-invent, just like they did with this Challenger...silver rims are just so common, that's all.

For me I like the black wheels but only on older style cars. I like either the polished aluminum look but sometimes brushed looks good too.
On Horsepower TV they will sometimes will take chrome wheels and roughen them up with sandpaper and paint them shiney black with great results
but this is usually done to accent the black strip and such on the car.
On my black Challenger I am okay with the concept wheels they have shown. More black on the wheels would be too much.

Rob.....now see that Hemi orange with black rims would be a great comb.

I like the rims on the concept alot but there is another way.
They come in 16, 17, 18 inch diameters. This is how I will go if they make them in the correct bolt patern.
