Turbo Kane Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I like the factory wheels that came with the TC but hate cleaning them and don’t want to put wear and tear on them. I previously had Neon Srt-4 wheels on the car but I didn’t like the look and I thought 17’s were a touch too big. I like factory wheels so I found these 16” Chrysler Sebring wheels and had them powder coated. I’m really pleased with the look and fit. Good opportunity to flush the brake fluid while swapping wheels. I also decided to apply window tint over the reverse lamps and I think it looks great! Only 39 degrees in WI today but happy spring everyone! 3 1
Hemi Dude Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Those are great looking wheels, I have PT Cruiser wheels on my TC, much easier to keep clean too. 1
Reaper1 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Wow, those Sebring wheels don't look bad! What are their specs? Obviously 16", but width and offset? I liked how the RPF1's fit my TC (16x7 +35)...too bad I broke 2 when I wrecked my Daytona a while ago. Hitting a curb at 45+mph will kinda do that.
Hemi Dude Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I saw 4 wheels stacked in a corner at the customer parts-counter of a Chrysler dealer, asked if they were for sale, and the rest is history. Frankly, I never paid attention to the width, just had tires mounted and put them on the car.
Turbo Kane Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 The Sebring wheels are 16x6.5. There’s a few NOS polished sets on ebay a little pricey but they’d look very nice with all the chrome trim on a TC. 2
Hemi Dude Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Thanks. I like them especially because they are easy to clean.
Nile Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Another plus would be better air flow around the brakes. 1
Hemi Dude Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Those are nice wheels too Nile, however I do not have those 16 Valve emblems on my front fenders, so my 'cruiser' will do fine with those I have on it. I still have the original TC wheels, they are on my 85 Plymouth Voyager. 1
Turbo Kane Posted April 17, 2021 Author Posted April 17, 2021 Very nice van the TC wheels look great! I put GTC lace wheels on my 94 voyager that I 2.5 turbo 5 speed swapped. I miss this van it was my daily driver that I sold a year ago. 2
pesd Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Awesome, I'm tempted, Got a local shop I took my TC to a week ago and who said he would resurface and make like new for $600 and keep original. or go to 16" with easier to clean rims, I'm torn because my 15" tires are practically new. add new tires getting up to $1200
2Shelbys Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I'm staying original and bought spares just in case....
Turbo Kane Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 Anyone interested in NOS center caps in the package $150
Nile Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 It can be difficult to reach the valve stems in the original wheels. Any time you have a tire mounted make sure the valve stems are long enough so you can reach them with a normal air chuck, but not so long they stick so far they get damaged. 1
