Unfortunately they are on Mopar muscle cars instead of cars like those where they belong.

The cars parked on the street all have license plates and a couple are 1968 models so they are not on the showroom floor. They are drivers in fact one even has some beauty rings with the dog dish so your point is what?

No doubt there were some cars driving around with dog dishes either because the owner couldn`t or afford new wheels or yes even some that had no intention of changing them and may have even liked the look but in my area in the mid-late `70`s a VAST majority of muscle cars had aftermarket wheels and tires along with other mods.

The vast majority had them swapped out within the first couple of weeks of ownership.

I do love cop wheels with correct vented caps - on cop cars of course! My old `87 Gran Fury and 2013 Charger -

When used on the proper cars,they are okay. Last summer at Mecum you have a 70 Challenger R/T convertible, top banana yellow, stripes,rallye hood with 440 Magnum on the hood,rear spoiler, side stripes, chrome dual exhaust tips,and dork dish hubcaps on goofy yellow wheels. It looked ridiculous! Nobody believes the car is a sleeper!

Exactly. This is where they belong.

The cop car look executed perfectly!

It's not even a look! It's just... a cop car

 

[chargervert]

And rightly so!

I had black cop wheels with chrome lugnuts on my A12 Superbee back in the day, I later swapped out to Aluminum slotted wheels.

And the chrome on the Cragars is worse now than it was back then.

My rear Cragars are date coded 1981. I bought the rears used around 1985/86 and the fronts new around 87. They have been on one Charger or another since and still look pretty good. Oh, and have over 200,000 miles on them.

The chrome on them was better back then. Mine rusted from sweating in the garage! I replaced two of them already. The better one of the two I took off is now the spare.
