That is one of them, they vary from year to year and body type to body type, the "road wheel" description was for a number of different types.

That is the 70-78 C Body road wheel with the later center. Here is my Polara with the earlier center.

Thanks for the clarity. This wheel should work for my 70 Imp then. I'm a fan of arty wheels for no other reason than I like them. http://www.truespoke.net/Artillery.jpg

I don't believe akh has any in stock last time I checked many years ago.
It will NOT fit without adapters of some sort. Imperial had a 5 x 5 inch bolt circle in 1970...road wheels were 5 x 4.5 inch (like the Chrysler and other divisions).

Thus the classic Chevy pick-up truck wheel will work (5 x 5" bolt pattern version). Originally available in various different widths. Grab some 8" versions for the rear...

So this seemed like the "best" thread to piggy back onto re: road wheels.
I have the aluminum version that are not original to the car ... the previous owner installed them. I haven't heard of anybody else on here talking about aluminum wheels. Anybody know about them? What years, etc?
The wheels I have are in great shape and clear coated. They always clean up nice. I also like the absence of trim rings. These are stamped 15x6-JJ-10-30
Anyways, just looking for any info, thanks.

Look like my 79 300 wheels without the trim rings all aluminum 15x6's...underneath the trim ring are the slots like road wheels
Uh oh does this mean I have to turn in my FBBO membership??

I always thought of these more as a Rally rim.. or as Elmer J. Fudd would say "Wally Wims"

Interesting. now why did they go and put them plastic rings over the slots? Makes it look like a late 70s Granada wheel cover....kind of.

Mopar was the master at mix-n-match from the parts shelf. Even across boy lines.
