New wheels

Post by Derek »

I've just put on some 17s, not to sure what I think of them yet as I've had Magnum 500s with white lettered tyres on the Charger for 18 years, what's your opinion.

I like the big rims on the cars now I got used to em, they fill the arch and give a better balance to the overall look ;)
And you can buy real tyres what actually work :thumbright:

Yea yea get some bigger meats and it looks good to me ,and those mag 500s are very nice too because they fill out the wheel well more,but from what I can see the tires need to be a bit larger :thumbright: on the 17,s

Prefer the 500s Del, the 17s look ok but the originals are more in keeping with your 'muscle car'!

I like the original rims for the design, but I also like the new rims for the more modern look....
