Ever owned a set of wheels with rivets Arron? They aren't that difficult to clean, especially wheels with recessed rivets like my DPE's on the Corvette. Besides, on a car that isn't daily-driven the wheels tend to stay clean anyways.

I can understand on a 3 piece wheel where its necessary, I dunno, just not my thing I guess.

As much as I hate the "played out" FM5, the FM5's might look better, that car needs some "mass" to the wheel.
I like the link tony posted to those on that blue car, those look pretty nice.
I just can't see a thin massless large wheel on a large mopar like that. That kinda car needs some wheel "mass" IMO. A smaller, "pony" car can move more towars the thing/swoopy wheels, but the larger cars need the "wheel mass" look.
On that car, anything over 17" wouldn't look too good to me. It needs a bit of sidewall, otherwise it looks like the gansta's with the 78 monte carlos and 26s. A wheel package can make or break a car, you have to find something that will match the feel of the car and the lines of the car. Being a larger car I think something with more mass, (not nessisarily the FM5, but that or similar) would be a better suited wheel. Also, going with a 17" wheel keeps the brakes from looking out of place compared to a 20" or larger wheel.

and i completely agree with you.
BTW guys, i've never seen a Charger w/ FM5's. I've only seen the Viper powered one w/ FM10s
