Title: Year One 17" Rally Wheels
Post by: Wookie316 on December 06, 2012, 01:25:48 PM
For those who have them on order. Any news when they are to be shipped as of yet? I have a set on order, haven't called them but curious if anyone else has touched base with them yet for a status update?

Well we have 2 feet of snow so I'm not in a huge rush. Would like to have a set though to see if they clear my RMS front end with the Wilwoods. Fingers crossed they clear.

i will tonight


my post from yesterday:
good news everybody - went and weighed them at the station today - it says 10kg or 22 lbs, take it with a grain of salt - i don't know the accuracy of it

I went to the old mans house and he had a 72+ center and it fits perfect even the holes on the back match up

(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x201/y2kdano/1971%20Plymouth%20Roadrunner/IMG_20130112_145448.jpg)

then went to a buddy of mines house and he had a 71 center - its a little sunk but everything still matches and lines up

he also told me of a great website that sells the centers at a decent price:

WOOOOOW... I HAVE TO ADMIT IT... I LIKE!

It looks WAAAAY BETTER than the Foose "Rallyes"!!!!

I'l just will polish the area where the cutouts refects like it has a polished rim trim!

now they are on my wish list! ( side to side with the Centerlines 915s vintage )

Agree, plus 1/3" the price probably.  Can't wait to see it on the ground with some rubber on them.

I hope the 1/3" of the price wil include the outrageous prices YR1 usually charges LOL


( editing... 4 rims, without caps are priced on $800!!! need to add the special lug nuts! AWESOME!!!!, what I don't get is why they say something about some spacers requeried for later caps )

BTW, it seems to me looks better with the later center caps ? it sit flush with the rim depression. the mexican hat looks deeper into the rim  :shruggy:

If you are in the US, then yeah it would cost an arm & leg, but in Canada if you are near Edmonton you could pick them up!

Rubber mounted. 295/45R17 Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radial in the back on 17x9"
Nitto 255/50R17 555 on a 17x8 for the front. Only about 1/2" difference in height. Once the rear of my car settles a bit more, the stance should be perfect!

A sidewall profile of the 295/45 MT, so you can see the bulge on a 9" Not bad at all.

Front & Back side by side.

Center cap looks great!!!

Love the way the rim looks like a brushed trim ring!

Difference of the width front to back.

Looks great, how much clearance do you have between your tire and rear springs with the 295 m/ts'. I was considering those as well for my 71 charger but went for 8 inch rims all round with NT555 255/50zr17 nitto's. My car sometimes sees a bit of rain and I was a little scared to run a drag radial and didn't want to run a SUV tire like a Nitto 450 or a Falken in a 275.

Lot's of later model hot rod daily drivers (ie Mustangs, Camaros, Trans Ams) are running those SUV tires.   :2thumbs:   Plus they are liked by many of the buyers for their wet weather performance.   :shruggy:

Hm-mm, the 450's might be OK, to be honest I'm not sure and I would have prefer ed a larger tire. I was told that the Falken's have trouble hooking in the dry and the 450's can be noisy that's why I went with the NT555's, I'm sure there would be no issues with wet traction with either the 450's or the Falken's.

Give me a few weeks and I will let you know on the dry traction.. :smilielol:    Even though they are said to be good in the wet, I hope to never get caught out in the rain with my car.  Takes to long to get it all cleaned up again.  :brickwall:   Plus I may not be able to hear the tires over the 440 w/ TTI's.... :shruggy:

Probably 3/4" to the spring. Lots of room.

Definitely like the extra side wall on the rear, both cars look great. Personal thing I guess but 17" rims with 40 series tires on a Charger are just to small for me, although I like them on a Cuda.

beautiful car and the wheels look great. on the chally in the thread the sidewall is way too small for a muscle car but ur tires look terrific :2thumbs:

amazing how natural 295 looks on 3rd gen, it doesnt look like a drag car.

I'd have to see those wheels on something else, don't think I could run em.. They certainly lend themselves well to the 3rd gens tho'! I love that plum car, park next to me anytime.

17x9 back 17x8 front 

out of curiosity do you think you would have been able to put the 15x9's on the front? how much room do you have with the 15x8's and the inner fender lip?

I have an RMS front end. Not sure on a stock front end. The RMS won't clear a 9" only because of the design of this rim. The inside of the rim is only about 16" I am guessing it is to add strength because it is cast. A true 17" would clear easy though.

If anyone puts or has plans to put these on a 2nd generation, I would be interested in seeing a picture, so please post. 

They look great on the 3rd generation chargers  :cheers:

Chin spoiler on, wheel moldings on. Super Bee fender emblem on. Ride height has settled and stance is perfect. Now we need spring to hit.
