The car is dark blue. Any opinions out there on what kind of wheels to use??? Thinking 3 1/2 and 8 inch Welds. My kid says go old school; 4's and 8's Crager SS. Going for the stocker look on the street. This will be my foot brake car (to lazy to fix the one in the garage). Your input would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!

"..stocker look on the street?'...' Doesn't get any better than those 'dog dish' hubcaps off a 1970!

Dougy boy, did you and Tracey pick it up yet ?

I like the wheels Myron showed. That would be the deal for that ride, if they can make it thick enough for street. That is nice !!

I just put the Centerline REV's on mine today. You guys in D2 wont beleive its the same slow azzed car !! Hell, It LOOKS 200 lbs lighter !! Ha ha ha !

I like the Crager S/S. If you do a little internet searching in Dodge's 2009 Challenger info list they show a Classic R/T option with the old style R/T stripe and either 18" or 20" Crager wheels. In the catalog they show a B5 Blue with a black stripe and Crager wheels. When I win the lotto I'll be going to my local Dodge dealer and ordering that car.

That's my opinion.

I order a white 2009 Challenger 4 months ago with no sunroof, it's not in yet.but for the wheels I would check in to that caliper clearance thing.I couldn't put 15's on a BMW X3 when it came with 17's.

DK FRAZIER · 01-02-2009, 09:47 PM

Yes, got that bad boy picked up today. Had it here when momma got home from work and carried her out to dinner. That's just the kind of guy I am!

Stupid big brakes gonna be a problem on the wheels. Does anybody make a 17" front runner wheel? Factory wheels - gotta go.

Made 3 passes at my favorite test facility AKA, the road in front of the house.

Leave at about 2400, no tire spin, I think it will make a good foot brake car. (If Tracey will let me use it on Saturday, she loves the car)

Yo, Douggie, you gonna go to Brainerd? Looks wet on Sat.

DK FRAZIER · 01-02-2009, 10:32 PM

Bill I doubt it. We are going to the funeral home tomorrow night. If you heard about the young firefighter that was killed; I coached him in baseball when the kids were in little league and his parents are dear friends of ours. Sad, sad times indeed.

Maybe next Saturday.

Doug, I did not hear about the firefighter. Sorry for your loss. Lousy time of year for tragedy, not that any other time is better....

Hope to see you soon.
