they look down right bad, look like they belong on a VW beetle just my .02 look like big metal flowers on wheels
 
Not sure what they weigh , they reminded me of a modern American racing five spoke flower type wheel can't remember the name of it. Also look at the other 2 styles they offer. I really want some custom billet wheels but not dropping 500-1000 per wheel and want something different than a torque thrust wheel

It's important that you pay attention to wheel weight. Some of those wheels are extremely heavy, killing both power and handling.

Or at the minimum, undoing part of what you are trying to accomplish.


Please don't put black wheels on an orange car.
 
I'd have to agree with the guys, they wouldn't look right. There are 1000's of wheels out there that would look nicer and under 400 bucks each. Yea torque thrusts are ok but played out. Go to a local tire shop and ask to look at their books to see what they can order. I found brands and rims I had never seen before at reasonable prices and a variety of off sets.
 
Yes I have kept wheel weight in mind that in mind, I'm not offended I have some radical taste some times. Yes those wheels are sick on the duster they are kinesis wheels and well try around 700$ per wheel in black :/ little pricey at moment.
 
See first post again I edited my failure

YUCK again... Looks like what I see on ricers everywhere. I like some out of the box thinking but I couldn't crawl in a ricer box.

It is the flat face that I don't like. They all look like front wheel drive wheels.
These have some positive off set but don't show 114.3mm but a 114mm. WTH uses a 114mm?

Yes I was lookin at them, I was curious about that too not having a lip but those Valencia's you found might be the way I go they fit out cars , they come in 114.3 not sure why site doesn't say it but they do and they come with about a 2.5 lip I'm pretty sure for the 20x10. The Matt finish might look ok with black vinyl top cause it's more a mat than gloss

The 144 didn't make sense when I read it but I am getting behind with some of the new car patterns. There may even be more choices, I was just looking through the selection and saw these. They would look good on any rear wheel drive car with the staggered center.

The wheel you couldn't remember the name of is the American 200S. Check 'em out at www.summitracing.com and other websites.

Looks like they come in diameters up to 17". JMO, but waaaaaaay better looking and much more appropriate for your '72 Dart than those ricer wheels of your first choice.
 
Yeah both your choices belong on ricers. I don't like big wheels but still I know they can be pulled off more tastefully. There's repops out there of steelies that could look real mean flat back with chrome lugnuts and you can have them built to whatever size you want! 18" in front? 20" out back? No Prob!!!

Same goes for the rallye wheels. And Cragars.
