What are the lamest factory wheels and lamest aftermarket wheels?

[torredcuda]

we can make a list of alternative uses for dog dish caps........

1 dog dish

2 ash tray

3 frisbee

Not even good for those uses - they don`t sit flat upside down so no good for dog bowl or ash tray unless you flatten the crown with a hammer, too heavy to fly for a frisbee. Good uses - target practice, ???

When I bought Baby Blue the second time, in 2013, I showed the seller a picture of what the car had looked like 30 years earlier, with the factory full wheel covers in place. Will never forget his response: "hell, thems worse than those darn dog dishes, wouldn't feed my dog out of one them things!"

Anything over 18 inches

I would almost agree. However, I have always liked the 20" Cragar looking factory R/T Classic wheels on my 2012.

A12 cars were intended to go to the dragstrip with your day two wheels installed, the factory even provided the chrome lugnuts for them.

I had a A-12 car and I currently own a pair of 1970 keystones direct bolt in a pair of 1971 Crager SS direct bolt front runners. There’s no way in hell and a 12 lug nut will hold that wheel on so that’s BS.

Here is two more pics from 1969 I think they were a lot more prevalent than what you people are trying to say.

These Mustang wheels that were on my Coronet when I bought it were really ugly. They did not fit the center register either.

Love dog dishes. To each is own. Most, not all, 80's and early 90's factory wheels looked cheesy.

I had an A12 car too,and not all aftermarket wheels required the special shank lugnuts.

I was at the dealership in 1970,and on the Dodge side of things,the only cars that had dog dish hubcaps on them were slant 6 4 door Darts. Chargers, Coronet R/T and Super Bees mostly had Magnum wheels, Rallye wheels and full hubcaps. We bought a new 70 Charger R/T SE that had Magnum wheels on it.

Sure. Sitting on a dealer lot. The first stop the buyer made after purchase was down to my garage to throw those wheels out for whatever aftermarket "mags" they desired. From my experience, in my area, in real time.

No just replace them with recall wheels and all will be good!

Seriously, back in the day, we used those hub caps as nut & bolt trays. ( and yes, I was not a smoker, but indeed were used as ash trays ! )

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?

In the non OEM arena, and don't mean to diss anybody here, but back in the day it was unmentionably felt chrome Crager SS wheels were for those that could not afford the all Alum AR Torque Thrust's.

..... and now real torque thrusts are way cheaper than Cragars!
(I bought some knockoff 17" torque thrusts, without realizing the real thing was the same price. DOH!)

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