Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)
Hi
Chrysler did a big mistake on wheels here in brazil (on A bodies)...
The short history is.. Chrysler used old machines from a previous factory park.. based on French cars (Simca). Thus.. our wheels are 5 X 4 1/4". I think must US cars are 5 x 4 1/2".
Oficially we have 2 wheels (with some minor modifications during years). The first model is called Rally.. cheap and most common.. some dart models came with center hubs and 10 rings around the each wheel
the second model is called Magnum. I was used in some Dodge chargers (brazilian charges are A bodies with some mods as rear colum)
There were some aftermarkts wheels made with magnesium league or aluminum.
the front wheels on my dart are from a friend.. they are magnesium league. The big problem is that they break easy.
about 79 or 80 ( I don't know exactly).. Chrysler brazil was the first factory to sell a car with aluminum wheels
I will try to take some more photos and tell about chrysler in brazil
