Current setup
Hellcat replicas in gloss black
20x9 with 245s (front)
20x10 with 305 (rear)
Would keep same or do 20x10.5 in back for future need to run 335 after I crack the 6.1 open ;)

They didn`t offer black chrome until now. And I have a desire to swap as I`m sure I can remove, polish and coat these and get most of my $ back.

I`d polish and coat em three or four times with dlux or anything better before they even made my car

I had black chrome for over 6 years, wasnt hard. Im used to cleaning these spokes already anyways.

No No No they look to cheap stock for a car of this caliber, but of course i`m more preferable to 7-9 spoke wheels

Theyd still be the hellcat style spokes

Just not sure

Maybe i should just tint the tails and turn signals and go all black

Mod bug is strong in me now that I passed on my new car chance.

I got friends that run 305s on Hellcat Wheels which are 9.5. That`s pushing it. And as an insurance adjuster I would take into account something like that if you wrecked your car.

512Detail- Noting what we all know about "opinions" ;) ...I would *NOT*

-run the wheels with the red pinstripes
-Tint the tails

Especially the latter. No way. Never. Lawsuit material there even if you`re OK with LEOs having an excuse to hassle you. Yeah, I know.."people do it all the time", they do it in the Panther Platform community too (Ford did it at the factory on Marauders and the owners complain about LE harassment). As an Insurance Adjuster...well, think you get my point ;) Only takes *one* [individual] who says they couldn`t see your brake lights...

I`m too old and conservative in my tastes to provide meaningful advice on ?which wheels? other than nixing the pinstripes (just look cheap to me in a teenage sort of way).

so you think the gloss black (same wheels) are teenage cheap too? well they ARE cheap but hell I`m not going to spend 2500+ on WELDS or anything

I decided to keep the gloss black

I really like them when they are clean
 
512Detail- Heh heh, gee...my choice of words sure sounds, uhm....nice and considerate, huh?!? :o

But no, the gloss black looks OK to me, it`s that pinstripe that I simply *hate* for some reason.

I`ve grown to generally not like the "all black" look (black paint and wheels) but on your car, for some reason, it seems fine to me.

If I were gonna split hairs, I`d go with a level of gloss/etc. that`s *not* too similar to the paint. I`d like a slight but noticeable contrast between the two blacks, but agan that`s just me and [INSERT bit about opinions]. Heh heh, if I were you I`d kick this idea around for a while and then just *drop it* for a longer while...see what you think when you revisit the topic with Fresh Eyes. Might surprise you, might merely confirm that you were right the first time..I`ve had it go both ways and it`s better to go through that *before* you spend the money :D
 
I`m gonna pass. my dream wheels are these

VPS-306 – Vossen Forged

gloss black or possibly even bronze - but $$$

I passed on CV3s when I got my hellcat replicas because I wanted to save money for slicks/wheels (which I ended up never using and selling)
ha
 
512Detail- I might worry a little about how the spokes on those protrude from the edge of the rim, but they do look nice and IMO it`s often best to wait and buy what you *really* want.
 
I`m kind of over the black on black look. In my opinion silver or gunmetal may be a better alternative to the black wheels. It will add some contrast as well. They will also look larger in a lighter color. That is one thing I disliked when I had black wheels. They always looked to small.

I would definitely look into a nice concave wheel.
 
It`s an awesome looking car with all those wheel choices! I just picked up some black wheels for a total change from the black on chrome. Keeping the stockers so I can switch back if I get sick of them.
 
I like the spoke design that you have. If you ever feel the need for new wheels just have your wheels refinished in a new color.
Have you looked into doing the brass/copper "Brass Monkey" Hellcat finish on your wheels? That would give your car a totally new look.

Those Vossen forged wheels look awesome. I would rather have your current spoke design than the Vossen. I do like the finish on those Vossens better than black. I`m with Guz, I like the gunmetal, dark gray, silver painted finish.

what about that chrome gas cap? its got to go, right ?

I saw a flat black fuel door. That would look awesome. Is your chrome cap stock?

Your car is unique. It`s like a factory restomod. Any other car and the chrome would look dated, but not on your Challenger. Just don`t add a vinyl top or a Superbird Daytona wing:)

yes I was going to go with brass monkey type look-- BUT there is another guy with a Black RT challenger in my town (he`s kind of a strange-never wants to chat cars or even hang with other car folks yet I see his car at local shows from time to time- guess he`s a lone wolf)-- anyways.. he recently put brass colored wheels on his black Challenger, and I don`t want to have two cars looking alike (he lives in the same neighborhood as me too- and he drives like a 17yr old)
