    There are some 15" versions. Not sure if they are OE or not, but I know of several companies that make them in 15" diameter, and various widths.

    The trim rings are hideous on those.

      yea, ive seen the 15" aftermarket ones. most seem to come with the cuda/challenger hubs though, so they dont quite cooperate with the dart, which is why my dad grabs every set he finds. he dont like the trim rings either, all the sets that have been on the car had the trim rings pulled off and some fresh aluminum paint on the rim, i like the center caps though. i shall have to see how they look on a box just for shits and giggles.

        What he said. Exactly what he said. 17" are cool and offer way better handling, however this 2-door is more of a muscle-car type and thus the combination suggested by Larry will fit it great, whereas 17s would be more suitable for a more sport-oriented vehicle such as a Mustang or a Mark VII ...

              For a 17"? I'd consider the black or silver "Soft D" wheel in your choice of 17x7, 17x8, etc, and add a set of '98-'02 centercaps for a near-factory look.

              Fixed that for you, though I know big attention to offset will be important for running a 15x10 on a sedan.

              Mopar police wheels from Wheel Vintiques (either version) would also be very nice 15" options, and the ones I had most strongly considered before coming into possession of a certain set of ancient turbines. Cragar V-5s in either black or silver would be a good budget option in 15" or 16".

              Or, of course, it's hard to go wrong with used factory 16x7" steelies with 225/60 or 235/60 tires.

                Good luck finding those 265/50R 15's....

                  Second hit on Summit when you search for "Cooper Cobra." Like you didn't know.

                  Only question would be, are you comfortable running a Cooper Cobra? There's some generic brand too that offers a 265/50/15, but I can't remember its name right now.

                    SLOTS! 15" mag slots have got to be the best damn looking wheel I've ever seen on a box. I have 15x8's on my 87 and they just make it look mean and clean when they're polished out(which is always, since they've forced me to develop O.C.D.) Check them out before you make your final decision. I believe the murphmobile is rolling on a set of them as well...

                      Polished wheels are beat. Been there, done that.
