So, it looks like my buddy is getting his uncles 1977 roadrunner. He sent me some pics, and we are having trouble identifying the wheels. Any guesses?

That car looks like a time capsule of mid-80's customization with those wheels.  I dont know what they are, but I like it.

Also, this makes me miss my Volare. And probably be the first person to say that.

Magnums and cordobas in late 70s and early 80s had those wheels, or very similar, as options. Dont k ow if dealer or factory.

Somehow I doubt Dean Martin was singing about malaise era chrysler. But the 70s were a weird time.

I think the Volare and Aspen look fantastic.

I forgot about Appliance Wheels. They made some Cragar spinoffs and others.

What engine/trans combo does the Volare RR have?

In reply to TIGMOTORSPORTS : this one is a 318 with a manual trans.  Not sure how many gears though!

I thought Cheviot at first glance, but then decided that was an unlikely fitment to a Plymouth.

sorry, my parents had an Aspen Station wagon in 1980. Slant Six with a 4 speed manual, thing was constantly in the shop. I remember it was not even 2 weeks old and the transmission got stuck in 2nd. My parents were so happy when the spring flood tides claimed it
