I honestly love the look of some normal width 15's up front and really wide 15's in back. Aluminum weld racing rims, with hoosier or mickey thompson tires.

Anybody photoshopped that??

anyways what do you guys like?

If the Challenger is close to the Charger in wheel well size. Then 20" is max. Anything else will look comical, despite what your best friend says or the guy down the street. I will be glad when the oversized wheel craze ends. These cars look rediculous and gaudy. Everytime I see one I have to laugh and wonder do they really think that looks good? But for a quick laugh, I guess they do.

Actually, I intend to get 15 inch Rallye wheels, like in the pic lear4406 has of his '70. The original look is the best.

ya i hate the huge wheels. BUT if you have small wheels, the tires got to be pretty big

I chose 18's. I think that is the perfect size. Not too big, but not too small.

I chose 18" as well for the new chally. I really don't care for rims any bigger than that, on some cars it's okay. I wouldn't go bigger than a 16" on my 70 though.

Your photochopped Chally looks alot better than I thought it would. I definitly like the way that looks.

Sorry fellas, but I kinda like the look that Castiglione came up with. From what I have read he had every rim & tire size possible on that car, including the old sized rally wheels and for shear looks he and his team decided that the oversized spokers was the ticket. I like the fact that the car has the vintage look to it but with modern strokes of genius in it. If I wan't a Challenger that looked old including the original rolling stock I would just buy an old Challenger. But everybody to their own, veriety makes the world go round.

18 inch is the largest I would go with. I would go as low as 15 inch though. 20 inches is way too lavish for my taste on this model. It simply doesn't look right. I also look forward to an end to this ugly oversized rim fad. It looks just plain stupid if you ask me.
