Aside of the obvious tirerack and ebay, where are we shopping for wheels these days?

looking pretty specific to 19x8.5 45mm offset in 5x114.3/115(don't lecture me, they're interchangeable and I've been doing it for years) for the 2016 AWD charger.  There are a couple on ebay that are acceptable looking, most modern wheels are hideous.  Something with spokes similar to oem hellcat wheels would be great, cannot just go get hellcat replicas because rwd offset wheels stick out on awd cars.  The OEM wheels are peeling and corroded on the beads and one is bent.  Car also needs tires so not opposed to going to a 20", but no bigger and the fender openings are so silly huge that 18's look dinky.

Given the awd, will Durango take off wheels fit?

I would assume going 5mm further outboard won't do much so i think 40 offset on 8.5 would be ok.  A hair over 3/16.  (Offset is a stupid measurement, backspacing tells me things quicker and with no calculator involved)

Here is a start? https://www.carid.com/2016-dodge-charger-wheels/?filter=1&inch=20

 

Since I've only ever purchased wheels for things like E30s, BRZ, Miata............I tend to look at shops specializing in that car or brand.

2014(and maybe other years) Mustangs were available with a 8.5x19 et40(or 50) with a 5x114.3 bolt center.

I've had reasonable luck putting specific filters into Summit Racing to find wheel options in specific BP/Offset/Sizes.    That might get you mostly "modern" atrocities but they do carry some classic looking wheels.

Sadly TireRack doesn't have a search by Size for Wheels like they do for Tires.

There is an 'ok' work-around for Tirerack: Select a different car with the appropriate bolt pattern that runs a similar diameter, width, and offset range, then filter to get the desired diameter, width, weight, etc.

My other go-to is Discount Tire Direct: Advanced search wheels by size (diameter, width, and bolt pattern). Some wheels without extra elections to make will list the offset in a spec line right under the name, others with extra selections to make you have to see the wheel details to find the offset. Unfortunately though, they've been going more towards drop-down option selections in the wheel details rather than multiple slightly different listings, resulting in more and more not having that wheel spec line under the name.

If you're looking for OEM takeoffs, check Facebook Marketplace.  That's where all the orphans that are replaced with 2low 100mm offset stanceboi wheels end up, and you can usually name your price.

Any wiggle room on the offset? Rotiform sells a five spoke in a 19x8.5 in your bolt pattern, but it's a +35. They sell the same wheel in a 19x9.5 in a +40.

I am not sure on wiggle room for offset.  Tirerack says 8.5 with 45 offset.  I bumped the search to 20" too because tires are actually slightly cheaper, and have found a decent selection for sub $200 per wheel.  Not looking to spend a fortune, but at the same time your wife complaining about the peeling clear and general sad condition of her wheels is not fun.

Find some OEM wheels and having them refinished sounds dramatically cheaper.

For take offs... 

I am reminded of the place in Columbia Station that specializes in muscle car dismantling. I bought a set of 4 B-grade Mustang wheels from them a couple of years ago. $300 for 4.

I know they have Mopar too.

When I say B-grade they still looked great for my intended use. Which, by the way, was to mount the Mustang wheels to the green machine (rusty) but...

They should have worked but I failed to account that rusty has 300ZX tt brakes and hubs. The Mustang offset was wrong.

I then listed the Mustang wheels for $400 and quickly accepted $350. 

The last set I bought came from Amazon. They were substantially cheaper than anyone else. 

Moteg Traklites.

Fortunately that's not super-unusual wheel spec. (Ask me and JG about wheels and tires for an SW20 MR2.)

So something like this?

This is where my head went as well, but wheel-size.com says the Mustang hub bore is smaller than the Charger.

Is there a Wheelskin offered for your exact wheel? If yes, then a $100 solution to your flaking,  peeling appearance.
