repo road wheels 'magnums'

[bc3j]

Alway liked the magnums too.  Have a question about the Wheel Vintiques 54 series magnum wheels. They have a center bore of 2.125" but my front 11.75" rotors have a 2.72" hub. Does the interior design of the wheel allow for a correct fit?  Has anyone used the WV wheels?

I think I remember hearing that someone had an issue with their brakes and the size of the WV center but I can't remember what it was.  Might have to call WV and see what they say.

I used to have a 76 Charger with the big rotors.  The stock 14x5.5 Road Wheels will NOT fit over the hub.  I tried.

Thanks. I guess I'll give them a call. I was interested in the 15x7 wheels with the 4.5bs.  You guys are a great help.

I know this is months ago and not sure what you did. I ended up going with the 17in wheels from Y1. I have my original 14's but couldn't find a good selection of tires that would work for me. I toyed with getting the 15's but the price for them and the limited and probably soon to be very limited tire sizes really pushed me to get a tad more modern. I am happy how it looks. Though I do miss having white letters.

My wheels are sort of Wheel Vintiques....First ya gotta know Mike Stallings a guy I met in the early 80's when he worked for Western Chrome/Western Wheel out of Fresno Ca.... At the time he did a little side business, he'd picked up an old wheel lathe, a press & a welder..... He was building custom wheels for muscle cars.....  He built a few sets of rally wheels for me, including a set or 15x14 Rally wheels for a buddies Pro Street Challenger.....  By the time I built my convertible Western Wheel was long gone, Mike had started a new company "Wheel Vintiques" & while he was becoming quite succesful & really was to busy to do small projects he still hooked me up....  I started with 14x5.5 Road wheels, hauled them down to Mike, he cut the centers out & welded them into 15x7 & 15x8 barrels... I got them back with the original plated center & a bare steel barrel....    I used OE 15x6.5 trim rings..... And OE Center caps...

Nice! If memory serves the original Ford 14X7 "Magnums" needed a spacer to fit over a Mopar hub.

Oh, that reminds me.... I'm running 11.75 rotors & these wheels bolt right up, no issues...

that's the way I would have like to have done it too 1wild r/t! Looks Great!  I didn't get the wheels yet. Car is not close enough yet! I will probably buy the 15"

I wish someone had come out with 15" magnums like that with trim rings! 
My vert has 14" magnums with Good Year Eagle ST tires.  Time to get new tires!
So it would be a fine time to upgrade to 15"s but I can't live with the no trim ring.  I don't mean to ruffle any feathers here, but when I see no trim ring Magnums on a Mopar, I always think what are those Ford wheels doing on there? 
So I guess I'm stuck with 14's.

Is there a reason you can't put a 15" Rallye wheel trim ring on a 15" chrome magnum wheel? You'd have the larger wheel with a factory look.

[RUNCHARGER]

I agree with you on that. Just make sure a brushed trim ring will fit although the trim ring should have a flat face to look right.
