    Leave them! They are awesome. Don't worry about the brakes they will work just fine. I have had quite a few old pickups that had no airflow through the wheel. Think of the old steel wheels that the D100 and D200 had. The cast aluminum rims with spokes are mostly for looks. What about all of the cars nowadays that have steel rims and plastic hubcaps with no air passage through them? They all stop just fine as there is plenty of airflow on the back side of the wheel.

    I got rid of the R/T rims a while ago, the chuckholes here ate them up pretty fast!
    Yeah they're 6 on 4.5 bolt circle. Very limited on decent looking aftermarket rims...
    I'll find a clean set of R/T rims eventually.. These'll do fine for now AND the rear steel wheels with 275/60/15s are 5lbs lighter each than the R/T rims with the 275/55/17s!!

    you wouldnt know it!!!


    im surprised!!!



    but yea... i got an 88 dakota, and they would probably looks sweet on there.... something different...


    i got a 6 lug parts dakota... a 94, that we might turn into a race truck when we dont need any more parts off of it.... i could probably get the front hubs and rear end out of that if i find a nice set of R/T's for cheap.

    R/T wheels look awesome on early Daks.. But if you have an 88.. 5 on 4.5 leaves you open to tons of wheel options.
    Best I've seen so far was Mopar ralley wheels.. The truck was painted up like a T/A Challenger too.. So sweet!
    Cop wheels are a close second..
