This was the standard wheel for the
Challenger T/A. It's a 15"x7" |

|
| Optional on the T/A, and standard on the AAR, was the
styled road wheel. It's also known as the Rallye Wheel (Code W21). It was also sized 15"x7", and the trim rings are a source of some controversy. It appears from looking at original cars and old photos that the AAR got brushed trim rings, while the T/A could get the brushed ones like the AAR, or polished ones like the steel wheels. |

| NOTE: Wheel
options were not coded on the fender tag for Hamtramck built cars in 1970. That means you can not tell which wheels your T/A came with by looking at the fender tag. You need either the Broadcast Sheet or the Window Sticker. |
|
| Wheel center caps should be silver (astrotone) like the examples above. The example on the right has been incorrectly painted dark argent, as was used in 1971. |  |
| Tires were Goodyear Polyglas GTs with raised white letters. Sizes were E60x15 (front) and G60x15 (rear). |
|
| Important message: I have already had
a few dissenting opinions regarding the trim rings for these cars. As it stands right now I have conflicting information on what is correct. I urge you to click here to see evidence both for and against what I've shown above. |
