Charger man, I'll save you the trouble in telling you that those 18 inch 06 Charger wheels wont clear the front wheel spindle

:yesnod:

Then again, it only takes a little machining to get them to clear.

I'd say if they're cheap give it a shot, Chargerman. Worse case scenario you can flip em or you're only out $100.

I'm in no way knocking alfanta's photoshop skills, but they look like 14-15" in that 'chop. I've seen some older MOPARS with those wheels and they look ok. In fact, there was a B-body (don't remember...think it was a satellite station wagon?) at the Fling  with a set of those and I thought they filled up the wheel well pretty good.

The problem with machining the wheels is that you have to increase the diameter of the center section by an inch, which means that you can't use the centercap.

100 bucks is a great deal, but as far as a quick flip I will tell you that it will take forever to sell.  I have a set of the 17 inch non polished chrome wheels that I have been trying to sell for over a year for 400 bucks and there are no takers, yet.

yep..the couple who owned the Satellite wagon told me...the center cap.

Are these the ones you have?


You haven't been able to sell them because  a) you're asking way, way too much and b) no one really wants them. Most people that are gonna plunk down cash for new wheels are going to upgrade to 20-22's or at least a set of 18" R/T takeoffs.

To give you an idea...a set of the usually more desireable 18" R/T wheels (w/ tires) goes for anywhere between $300-600 (the chrome ones and "Road and Track" that are blacked out inside are the expensive ones). I sold my 17"s (w/ tires) for $150.

they looked good, didn't they?

And also down the road you could powdercoat them black and maybe add yellow accents to match the car.
