Default 20" Vintage Wheels (Mopar Option)

I opted for the 20" Vintage Wheels. I love these wheels. As someone who had Torq Thrust 2s on a 73 I love the nostalgic look with the modern "BIG" wheel size. How do they look?

Thanx, Paladin06 and RRUNNER! I was so glad Mother Mopar offered these wheels so I could keep it "factory".

They are the classic Crager S/S style. My Mustang had the same style in an 18 inch size. They look good.

They're cool, but personally, I wouldn't go bigger than 18. Preferably 17.

they look really cool on the ride 6SPD!! I was waiting to see these actually on a Challenger as I was wanting these myself but were a bit too costly from the dealer, but they look really good.

Brentmannrt09, these wheels cost me $561 a piece from the dealer (plus tax). I worked them into the deal so I did save a bit. I also saw a Dealer selling them on Ebay between 450-500 a piece plus shipping. There are several other wheels out there that look 'retro' for a bit less. I was considering the Coyz 20/ 22" package which I think is about $1900 or the 20" Torq Thrust 2 Anthracite wheels (They are not shiny! lol)

RoswellGrey, I had the polished Torq Thrust 2 17 x 8s on my 73 Challenger with 255/50/ZR17s which were huge tires and wide as hell. These "fit" the car very nicely and looked great but with the new Challengers having the bigger stance and wider wheel well openings I personally don't think the 18s look right. They just seem unproportional. I think the 20s are just right. I've already seen a few with 22s and even 24s and they look ridiculous.
