"Wheel Tech International " Mags ?
Is anyone familiar with this company, and if so what is your opinion . I really like the looks of their "SLT Muscle Mag" ( nice and deep like a true Mag )and the fact its "diamond cut" from one piece. Ive seen a few diamond cut wheels at a local shop and they have a " higher " shine than a traditional polished aluminium wheel. Take a look and tell me what you think ? Thanks http://www.wheeltechintl.com/

Re: "Wheel Tech International " Mags ?
I would say they are still polished and don't look like that just because they were milled with a diamond tip cutter. We use diamond tip cutters where I work and we don't get a shine anywhere near that. They do however probably get a much smoother finish on them then if they used a carbide cutter.
I don't think they would look good on a 3rd gen either, at least not the wheels you picked but that is my opinion. It is your car though so get what you like.

They look exactly like the wheels sold by stockton wheel that they advertise on mopar magazines. Maybe stockton and this company are re-sellers of this style of wheels from a different company.

Re: "Wheel Tech International " Mags ?
I do agree that they are not your typical 3rd gen wheel , and i'm still looking at other choices. The car is moving slowly towards the look of a" quarter mile" car with a Goodmark cowl hood and a slight rake .Maybe stay with the 225/60/15 in front on a 7in. wheel ,and a 265/50R15or 295/50R15 rear, on a 8 or 10 in wheel.

Decided to go with the 15 by 7 in. in front and 15 by 8 in. rear, American Racing AR-23 wheels. The photos Ive seen of them don't do them justice. I found a set to look at and there a really nice wheel for the price. This is the nicest photo of the AR-23 I have found.
