Picture it rolling on a set of black Savini rims with unknown color trim, a color matching stripe on the back, and a Kenne Bell 2.8LC Supercharger under the hood. That's my plan for the spring...if somebody would finally buy Reaper.
Thinking about this rim.

Good choice on the black!
Not sure on the wheels. I think the Chally's look better with a flush face wheel. The proportions of the car don't work well with deep lipped wheels in my eyes.

Looks good. Wheels I dont know about but maybe different on the car.
Good plan on the blower :)

It's a work in progress. The Savini wheels are a go along with the blower. Everyone keeps telling me black wheels with a red stripe. I will keep doing different color combinations on the wheels. My vision is a car called Slimer with a bright neon green wheel stripe and a single thin green stripe down the side.
I skipped the carbon fiber stripe because it's a factory option. I love the looks of a carbon fiber stripe, but it's so done. One of my neighbors has a black challenger RT with a carbon fiber stripe. I need something different. More wheel examples to come. Possibly Plum Crazy, Yellow Detanator and Hemi Orange.

The stripe delete was my first thought to compliment as well.

Looks good, I like the green accent idea. I saw a white R/T today with black Viper wheels

Definitely looking forward to how this progresses. Nice wheels too. I think they look good - definitely will stand out.

Not a fan of those wheels. Too much plum crazy in between the spokes. Just a subtle lip pinstripe of any color will do. I'd go Hemi Orange or green. Matte black or matte gunmetal gray centers, gloss black lip, color pinstripe. Simple.

The slime stripe will be good if done in the style used on the old Mopars. I wouldn't do much of it on the wheels, you can slime the brake calipers.

I think you should run the final look by us because when you use the name "slimer" I get concerned. :)
I think minimal accent colors and it will keep the car looking modern.

Congrats man. Awesome car.
I like your upgrade choices, but not feeling the wheels, sorry. I think Hemi Orange would look bad ass on that car. Good luck!:rock:

I'm not sure I could live with it all the time, but I kinda like that. I'd want some backup wheels to "tone it down" occasionally though.

I like the idea of Sublime stripe on a matte black wheel. A simple stripe like this:

color matched to wheel stripe:

The stripe has a custom letter option. Maybe HEMI or SRT8 for that.

I don't like the hockey stripe on the yellow Challenger, I don't think it flows well, and it also does not tie into any retro stuff either.
