I'm also building a Challenger (6.1 Hemi, DSE quadralink, either RMS or XV front) and I just talked to CCW today regarding two color wheels. They can do this if I want polished or brushed outers and painted spokes. They would anodize the whole wheel and paint the centers. FYI

Quickridez--
Don't worry about what the Mopar people think. If it's not a rare car or super numbers matching this and that, build it like you want and put the wheels you like on it. It's the guys over on Moparts that get all wound up about modifying a Mopar other than for drag racing or putting anything bigger than a 15" wheel on a Mopar :)
What do you have for engine/trans, etc?
Stefan--
I'd love to see pics of that Dart also if you have some.
Thanks, Wes

Nice sounding build-----
I don't have a build thread started yet. Sounds a lot like yours though. Mines a 71, I've got a new 6.1 and will do either the T-56 Magnum or the RS600 trans.
Be sure to brace the shock towers of the Magnum Force front if it's the original style that runs the coilovers into the stock shock mount. Maybe you are running the revised new version.
I'm still doing sheet metal work. I've framed notched mine, installed 2 1/4" mini tubs, new roof, quarters and right now I'm fighting a repro rear valance fitment. I've done a lot of work, but sometimes until you get to the fun part of wheels/tires/motor install it doesn't look like much if you know what I mean.
I've got to purchase the front suspension (probably XV) and then I can set it at ride height and fab the quadralink into the Challenger.
Either wheel will look great. CCWs are sure nice for the price.

my dad doesnt like the wheel to much but hes into drag racing and the beadlocks look lol.
do you think black anodize would be to much contrast. the brushed looked a lil plain. not sure if the titanium will flow. I might play it safe and go full polished. :_paranoid
