That's a beautiful color for that car. I've been considering a similar
Navy Blue for one of my Chargers, along with a gold vinyl top (black vinyl
top if I can't get gold).

Thanks barry
American Racing Torq Thrust II 15X6 in front, 15X8 rear i believe. I
think it was like $115 or so apeice.
IMO, I am somewhat displeased with American Racing. The design on these
wheels has a fault and it is in the hubcap. I bought the first ones off
the press, and maybe they have chnaged the design. But you can't get a
lug wrench in without removing the cap (well, you can but it is tricky
ie don't let your tire shop try it). So you gotta whip out the hex key
and remove. It sucks. I have had to send all 4 back to the shop
because they stripped out the threads. Soft aluminum and no sleave.
And if the mechanic does not put it back on right (like last week) I
ended up pulling a "RAISING ARIZONA" down San Fernando BLvd. hubcap
falls off, I do a 180 at speed because I don't want the cap crushed, and
then I am in front of traffic, so I open the door and lean out and grab
the cap off the road.
Take a look at the new ones before buying.

Ask the guys here. I think in smaller towns, less of an issue. But
hear in LA, it's all I hear about with a classic car. My buddy has been
waiting a year for his paint job, another took 6 months. These are
close friends, but when Itell my sob story, most people think that 4
months is acceptible.
