Horrible. It was fine stock. That's an abomination.

Keep that VIP shit away from the Challenger.

Yeah, somebody replace those poking wheels, stretched tires, flared fenders and airbags away from the challenger.

Oh wait...

I think they should have went staggered, 1" smaller diameter wheels in the front.... that would be hot as hell. it jsut matches the lines of the Challenger better

I agree with others, looks tacky and doesn't compliment the style of the car... way too modern looking wheels.

It's :ruined: IMO. And seriously ghetto looking with the front dropped that much.

Is it a prerequist to have bad taste to own one of these? This guy wants to put 24's on it

No!



Yes!

A little too low for my tastes, but I like it otherwise.

you know if the rims are too big when ...

You know the rims are too big for the car when ...

the Brembo brakes look tiny.

These rims don't seem to be appropriate for the Challenger.

Agree with the others in saying the owner should try to find a modern take to a retro-rim design. But that's me.

Thumbs down

:thumbsdow Too much drop and the wheels are too large.
I've always liked the orange w/black trim on the Challengers- original and current-, though.

Oh, and the drop is like a buddy's former 1970 Challenger R/T 340-4 barrel- after he dropped in a 440 without changing any suspension parts.
