Re: [Chrysler300] Rims for a D

[G Barker <gbarker@xxxx>]

I listened to the owner of Stockton Wheels in Stockon, CA two weeks ago talking about the
custom wheels they make and the repairing old bent wheels etc. Somebody called in and
asked him what were the hardest stock wheels to find today. He replied Mopar. He said
years ago they were around by the thousands and now he can barely find them. So if anybody
has any of the 14 but mainly 15 inch Mopar wheels I wouldn't through them away Ounce
there gone you will never be able to replace them. Gary Barker
