Greetings from Ohio!
Took my 1 of 774 produced Spirit R/T on a little road trip to meet up with some car buddies and pick up some parts. I will be getting a set of NOS 16 inch rims from the late 80s/early 90s. That was when 16 inch rims were considered BIG. LOL. I'm also getting some sensors and other wear items that are no longer available through MOPAR or the aftermarket. The drive out was great, love the 70 mph speed limits in Pennsyltucky. And it seems as though the further you get away from Jersey the more polite the Pennsyltucky drivers are. I actually saw Pennsyltucky drivers moving over so I could pass, and a bunch of them even used their turn signals!

I wish you would just buy the entire wheel, it would be easier in the long run. Now you have to look for centers and get them installed and checked for runout.

You, sir, are wrong. As I told you at the BBQ,
Rim and wheel are interchangeable, just like motor and engine are interchangeable in car-speak. You can't change it. Gazillions have spoken.
