For Sale 15x7 class ll 2 rallye wheel

[Cop car wagon]

It's a 7" wide, yes I measured.
It is straight, I spun it on my balancer.
The chrome is good where it is visible.
You will want to redo the silver in the middle, and probably the black.
Rust is not the "have to blast" kind. Bead is clean, and a little hand work on the exposed rim will do.
(I love reconditioning rims)
$60 + shipping

It should also have 15x7JJ stamped between the beads somewhere...

I've been told deluxe 1/2 ton dodge trucks used this wheel in a true 7" width. No parts books to confirm or deny the truth of this stated application. '78- '79 Magnum XE's supposedly used this wheel in a 7" width but it was not chrome anywhere.

Check the "Library" section at www.hamtramck-historical.com for the dealer order guides. Only the 1979 Magnum book lists anything like that wheel, but not that wheel. Perhaps it was behind the W28 Aluminum Fascia, which I believe was listed as 15x7?

Any "upscale" Dodge pickups, back then, were about: chrome grilles and bumpers, added exterior moldings, two-tone paint, wheel covers, and fancy interiors (some including leather!). Styled wheels kind of diminished the rough and sturdy character of the Dodge Ram pickups, back then.

NOW, not to say that a customer or regional dealer group might have wrangled some new trucks with those wheels, but not as a regular option, per se.

When Chrysler mentioned "Extra-Wide Based Wheels", that meant 6.5" widths, not 7" wide. But then the Magnums with the GT package had the 15x7 wheels as a part of that package.

For 1978, the W23 option code was the alloy wheels that came on the Cordoba 300s, which were more like 15x5.5 wheels (which surprised me) as I would have suspected 15x6 with the G60-15 tires.

Enjoy!

Back in the day, (1980) I had a set of 15x6.5 full alloy take offs. No one wanted them, they were kinda cool, so I held on to them as long as I could. Finally sold them at a swap meet for $100.
This wheel, is just like the 70-75 15×6, but wider. Any sale is getting killed by shipping costs, which is too bad.

Tidbits:
I've never seen a reference to the Magnum getting the Road Wheel, de-chromed or not.
The XE got a special wheel, 'aluminum fascia' would be an appropriate name. The Magnum GT got a 15x7 version of the Super Coupe's 15x8 wheel, both were silver-painted.
The 79 300's wheel was indeed 15x6.

 

[CBODY67]

Perhaps I erred in the '79 300s coming with a 15x5.5" wide wheel. It could have been a 15x6. Either way, it was too narrow for the GR60x15 tires that went on them.

I need to look at a '79 Parts Manual for some verification of that, though. Seems like the "outer section" of the 300 wheel was added to a base full-alloy wheel that was configured like the orig W23s of 1970, just narrower.

I found that narrow full-alloy wheel while looking for options of wider wheels for my '80 Newport, before I found out about the factory closeout deal on the 1979 Magnum GT and Plymouth SuperCoupe wheels. At the time, the SuperCoupe bare wheels were $20.00 USD each and the Magnum GTs were $18.00 USD each. Made the Magnum GT wheels and other related items total out at $200.00/set, back then, over the front parts counter rather than "out the back door". I ended up with three complete sets.

I have a 79 300 wheel and I measured it before my last post, even though I was 99.9% sure it was 15x6.
That alloy wheel is similar to a Road Wheel but the slot count differs by 1, and it has a slightly different shape on the center disc.

I remember your story of buying those Mag GT and Super Coupe Wheels - I am envious!
I have a set of Mag GT wheels but I had to collect them 1 at a time, over about 10-year span.

 

[CBODY67]

I only got the Magnum GT wheels. Didn't want the wider 15x8s at the time. A year or so later, I saw them at Mopar Nats for $500.00/set, bare. I just kind of shook my head on a lost opportunity, but they were there next year, too. hehe

the 1978 aluminum fascia basket wheel was a 15x7 black painted road wheel.
this was standard on the 78 New Yorker Salon and optional on the 78 & 79 Magnum XE, 78 Monaco, & 78 Fury (code W28)

Is that wheel chromed in the center and black painted over it or full-painted with no chrome anywhere?

For the road wheels behind the 78-79 Aluminum fascia wheel, no chrome, just painted black...same kind of treatment as the 1970 Rallye Road Wheel used on the Sport Fury (except those were painted argent silver-different colours, but same deal-painted with no chrome).

the silver painted aluminum "fascia basket" is bolted to the road wheel
