Gents,

I can't decide what wheel to put on my 65 Dart. I'll be converting to big bolt pattern soon so I'll need new wheels. I am thinking either Magnum 500's or Keystone classics. My car is white, so I need a wheel with some color in it. Any pics and suggestions of other wheels to look at would be great. :drinkers:
 
with the large bolt pattern you can go to
"Cop Car" wheels, and paint them any color.

I always thought they looked neat.

The bottom set, is how I would do them,
with a trim ring, and small hub caps, and the rims painted the
color of your choice. :)

Love mine. No longer made in the SBP. Stockton TQ2. 15X7 would be great. Could get rear 235/60/15 or 215/70/15 back there with stock springs. I'm having my rear 15x5.5s widened to 7" The backspace is 4.5"
 
Thanks guy's, keep the idea's comming. Nothings floatin my boat yet. I almost bought a set of Foose Nitrous (Gray) (15X7) on e-bay. screamin price, I believe do to the fact they no longer make that wheel in a 15". :headbang:
 
Here is a shot of my 65 Dart.

Powder coated 14"x4.5" Mopar steel wheels with 205/70-14 radials.

Chrome lug nuts,no hubcaps,down & dirty. :evil2:

Ford cars like Crown Vic use the "Mopar large bolt pattern",
so does the Ford Ranger pickup,
and so do some Jeeps, as well as old Dodge Diplomats,
etc.....

I just scored 2, 15x7 Jeep rims from the local tire store,
for Free, they bolted on perfect onto my G/F ranger pickup,
as soon as I took off the Jeep center caps, which were held on
by 3, 5/16 head bolts. 4.5 inch bolt pattern. ;)


Check your local tire store, for Take off rims,
sometimes you get lucky.

I have seen some really neat Wheel covers at the swap meets,
over the years. I am using some 1970 Cuda wheel covers.

Nice, I like the bummper gards. More pictures guys. I almost wish we could start an early A thread with nothing but pictures.

The Keystones look sweet! I was leaning towrds those to begin with because I had them on my other 65 back in high school. But that pick of them on a white car sealed the deal! I do agree with Lee, we should get a post going with pics of early A's. :salute:
 
Nice looking wheels. I'll be looking for something different for my 66 Dart in the spring..............after the dual exhaust and 4v. :)
 
I love the look of the Outlaws and the Keystones and the steel with chrome nuts. I have ralleys on mine but only because they're small bolt pattern and I got them cheap. I'd love to go with Outlaws one day or maybe the steel painted black with chrome lugs.

Here is a pic of my 65 Cuda wearing some front wheel drive rims off the wife's Avenger. They are 16 X 7, 4.5 back space (40mm offset), with 225 50.16's. To my surprise they fit with no rubbing on the front or back. I have moved my spring in, but stock wheel wells. On the front lock to lock they clear everything, even the front sway bar I added. 2 Close spots are the upper ball joint to the rim is only 1/4 of an inch at the closest spot through the complete movement of the wheel, and about 7/16 of an inch from the sway bar when steering is turned max.
