I also had the tires mounted on the new wheels but  I have yet to cut in the mini tub so I had to put the front wheels on the rear for pictures as the 12" wheel with the 335 tire don't fit the car yet.
Thanks

Very Nice!  :bow:   The wheels came out great and carry the modern hubcap theme well.  :2thumbs:  (not sure about the size yet..., but I'm keeping an open mind)  :icon_smile_wink:

maybe a black rim so the centres, being hubcap copies stand out more? They sort of get swallowed up with all that chrome.  Nice looking wheel always liked those hubcaps wish they made a 15 inch version

Don't get me wrong the wheels look Awesome!  A little flat black somewhere(not sure where) to break up all that chrome would be ideal.

I plan on testing a 3/16 black line on the outer rim as it is on the original hub cap. I'm having 17 7/8"x 3/16 vinyl ring made to check the look.
Thanks for the comments!

The wheels look great. What if you painted the coves around the holes a flat aluminum or gunmetal just to break it up. I don't think black around the holes would do it cause I think it would just make the holes look bigger...

I installed a vinyl black ring on one of the wheels to match the black line on the hub caps and I like the look. Hard to see the black line in the pictures but I think it finishes the look of the wheel.
Thanks

That black rings clearly sets off the rims and breaks up the chrome.  Badazz!

Received my dash and door pads from Just Dashes and they look great. This is the 2nd Charger dash and door pads they have done for me just wish they could replicate the stiching :-(  here are a few before and after pictures
Thanks

The car will be black and red line tires would look great but as it will be a Bullitt charger they should be white
Walls. I think adding a white wall will make the wheel look bigger??
Thanks

Finished the rear valance and left rear quarter rust repair. One more rust spot on the front side of the left quarter to do then on to the trunk floor.
