    Put some turbine wheels on that thing mang! Or some dog-dish hubs I guess would be more fitting to the base model theme.

      I've got the chrome police-style hubcaps (not center-caps) on it now. They look like this one:

        The '90 is in the body-shop now. I'm having minor surface-rust removed before I put the car away for the winter.

          That CV is really nice........but those hubs have got to go, unless ya like them. Definitely some 16" police wheels with chrome center caps would work with that or if ya got the money a nice set of aftermarket wheels. Nonetheless a nice car indeed.

                You know, I think that's the very nicest box-body I've seen pics of in a while! Definitely a worthwhile acquisition ... I look forward to seeing what becomes of this one.

                And yep, grey and silver are both great colors for box Panthers.

                I could definitely see a set of '98-'02 P71 wheels, but painted either argent silver or body color. Or maybe a set of 15x8 Mopar police wheels sprayed body color dog dishes. I think a Photochop may be in order here.....

                    Sure thing. 15x8 and 15x10 Mopar steelies painted body color was what I originally had planned for the wagon before I got a screaming deal on the old turbines that are on it now. Too bad no one seems to make a reproduction P71 wheel yet ... those would be very nice to have in 16x8 instead of the stock 16x7, and/or with a small variety of offsets.

                        I like those police hubs that you currently have on there now. They are a nice filler until you finally decide what to do.

                          They look good, I had those hubcaps on my Vic and it came from the dealer that way, and the car wasn't a PI so I think they were an option from the factory/dealer but i'm not 100% sure on that.

                            Pretty sure they were just the base-model wheelcover from certain years, possibly something like '88 to '97 or thereabouts.

                              I believe so.....Speaking of which, I could use another wheel-cover. I ordered one off E-bay but it never arrived, so the seller gave me a full refund!
