RCs wife was coming into the garage,he had to hide them somewhere! When you drive a Hemi Charger R/T,women throw their panties at you! It's a cross Hemi owners have to bear!
Just to be fair, in the '70's I don't remember seeing many, if any, musclecars around my area with stock wheels, even if they originally came with rallye or Magnum 500's. It was either Cragar S/S, Keystone Classic, or slotted aluminum kidneybeans. From the time each car is built, it's up to each respective owner to decide which wheels to use. Fortunately one of the previous owners still had the original chrome magnums my car was born with and sold them to me, still in great condition. He didn't think it was a good idea back in '89, but am I glad I still have them? You bet.
I got to go with toxic masculinity. People don't want their Mopars to look to threatening and manly,rather more emasculated and non threatening like grandpas 4 door 64 slant 6 Valiant!
I bought a lot of Mopars that had Magnums or rallye wheels on them,but most had some kind of aftermarket wheels on them. I was with my brother in law when he bought his 70 Challenger R/T V code 440 Sixpack car in 1974. He paid $2200 for the car. It had Cragar S/S wheels on it. The original owner offered the 15x7 rallye wheels to be included in the deal for $100 more.My brother in law declined the offer! Who knew or cared that they would be worth money later on.

Member @Black Sheep… I love the look on his car with the wide rims in the back. 
Torque thrust wheels would perfect the look of that car!Member @Black Sheep… I love the look on his car with the wide rims in the back.

I haven't had that happen once. Maybe i need to talk to the wife . She'll understand I'm sure.
Or.... I need to sell mine and buy a charger????
Nah....I'll pass.

I don't think steel wheels emasculate a car. Maybe cutting the roof off does ;)
Steel or aluminum both look great IMO. No panties thrown at my car, wife would not approve.
What do you think the A-12 crowd should do with their correctly restored cars that didn't even have hubcaps?

Man. I must be cruising the wrong neighborhoods.
Lol,the GTX is a keeper!
I had an A12 Super Bee and I had period correct slotted mags on it. I don't mind the black wheels with chrome lugnuts on them. The factory already supplied the lugnuts for the good wheels! WM23M9A Baby!

The aluminum wheels and the wife are keepers too! Sweet Charger R/T! You have to drive a Charger convertible to appreciate having all the amenities of a Charger R/T and cruising with the top down. I have six other second generation Chargers with factory roofs to enjoy. I just finished cutting a hole in one of them.

For @chargervert, I sold this car over 10 years ago. It was a car that I put together from parts from a couple other cars I had. Since I didn’t have matching mags or rallyes, I did my usual dog dish and steelies so everything would match. Fast forward to April and I see the current owner posting about how much he loves his car and takes it everywhere. Seems there’s another dog dish lover besides me out there, or he’s too broke like I am to change them out, or the tires for that matter, which were used rollers, but they matched!

Thanks, But its not a GTX
That's right, your car is a Satellite. My bad. We were discussing the 67 GTX convertible project car that was for sale on here,and that is what made me think GTX!

A body cars have limited wheel options due to the smaller brakes and 4 inch bolt pattern. A b body 8 3/4 swap and 75 A body large bolt disc brake upgrade would open up a whole bunch of new tire and wheel combinations for that car,and they need all the help they can get to look cool. Right now it looks like a fastback Valiant. My friend has a 69 383 4 speed GTS Dart and we opted for chrome 15x7 rallye wheels, to give the look of a possibly prototype wheel for the 1970 model year. These are 4 inch bolt pattern, he has changed the center caps to the 70 cone style since the picture was taken.
For how long? Spring?
