Tracys' wheels showed up today from American Racing. Torq Thrust IIs, 10x20 -&- 8 x 20 and she couldn't be happier. She put alot of thought into what she wanted and I do believe she nailed it....Sick!
We special ordered these 3-4 weeks ago and expected and 4-5 weeks more of waiting and were actually going to check tires in a few weeks...so no tires yet. Thinkin' 295s and 255s so does anyone know of a good tire source without breaking the bad?

Discount Tire is usually pretty solid on selection and price.

Did you order them from American Racing directly? I want to do these rims on my charger, but was kind of disappointed that they only had them in 20x8.5. It would be awesome to get the rims staggered too instead of just the tires.

I dont think "sick" is the right word here. Maybe "sickest" would be
better.:wink: Those wheels look amazing. Cant wait to see on the car. I really like that hot rod look. Congrats.....

I actually love the stock polished rims the magnum/charger came with (the RT RWD one's)... but, if I were to change them I would sooooo buy the one's you just received. They're beautiful with such a classic look!!! Can't wait to see them on your car.

waiting for some pictures of these awesome wheels mounted and installed. Any numbers on what they set you back. I've always loved these wheels and can't decide between these and srt for my daytona.

I think you wife has excellent taste!!
I submit two reasons for that comment below. The first reason is a 1970 Rebel Machine I owned for 19 years which had AR CP200s wheels on it.
The second reason is a 1970 Javelin I currently own which also wears AR wheels.
You stated that you had to "special order" your AR's for the Magnum. Is that to say they are of a special size or offset or were there just no stocking dealers?

Yep those wheels are sick!!! And your wife does have very good taste, as I have the same setup on my '94 Impala SS; 20x8.5 and 20x10. Get yourself a Mother's powerball because it's tough to keep up that shine!!!

Those wheels do look great!!! I also like the sizing you are going with. I just bought some Nitto INVO's from Discount Tire (Off Ebay)

Now that looks SWEET!!!! so where did you find the tires?Got them local here in town. We went to the Spring meet in Illinois and actually had one of the rears get a knot in the sidewall on the way home. So we had to buy a NEW 295/40r20 Toyo since we didn't pick up road hazzard :doh: They said that more than likely it was the result of a pot hole...which we never hit.
Wow Dan - I love those wheels. Excellent choice.

They look awesome! I am jealous! :thumbs_u:
This is exactly what I've been looking for, but they evidently don't make them for the MSRT8, so the search continues...

Exactly what I would like, but I understand they don't clear the Brembos on the SRT in 20s

I hate the "old school" look on new body's. Nice wheels, wrong car.

Beautiful!
Thanks for not going big and ugly wheels. The 5 spoke retro look is perfect, with the wide rears.
Is the car stock height?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your Torq II rims from? Those look outstanding and I am currenty getting ready to purchase.Thank you. These are but a small piece in Tracys puzzle...more to come. I actually ordered them direct through AR since they were a custom make.
Exactly what I would like, but I understand they don't clear the Brembos on the SRT in 20sOffsets...20 rear and 14 front
