Ok all I am changing my wheels, these cragars have been on here since 07 and are getting old.

I am leaning towards 15" rallyes but most are telling me to stay with something flashy. The car does make 450+ hp now so Maybe drag lites?

Any suggestions?

Aluminum corodes and needs polishing. I Sold my 17" AR 5 spokes just cause of that reason.

Soap and water on my chrome. Everything else eats the chrome off. Keep it high and dry and neat on the street then no rust or polishing is required. Mine doesn't see rain and ain't a daily driver. Cheap Hecho en Chinna chrome and you will have problems with it wearing off and pitting.

Steel wheels can be flashy, these are my cop wheels painted body color with cop dog dishes. Pretty ain't they?

I've always been partial to slotted ovals. But a good steely or widened rallye is very cool. Saw a place take 15 by 7 cop wheels and put the 15 by 10 wheel drum on them.

Well the cragars are made in china, the car sits in a garage and is only driven when its nice and they are starting to rust and the chrome is thin just from washing them lol.

I was thinking the aluminum would stay nice being as the car is inside all of the time...

15" Rallyes would be low maintenance tho so I dunno....

I have 3 dodge "red line" dog dishes now for my police wheels when they are done, still gotta pick up one more but like I said those are going on my little truck.

Damnit wheels are such a hard decision!

Personally I have a real soft spot for American Racing Vectors. Shame they don't make them anymore.
