Wow. those are awesome.

I love the big steel rims. I run 15x8 and 15x7 on my '75.

The '72 looks tidy. Same colour as mine (which is my favourite Avenger colour)

Thanks avenga, I love the rims to wasn't to sure at first but have grown on me, had 13x7 hotwires on before them
Yea the 72 is tidy looks like it had a few touch ups but cant complain its a 42 year old car and just sorting out the overheating at the moment starting with getting the radiator recored, so we had to tow it home .
Took it for a warrant before I pulled it out and only failed on drivers seat belt and headlight pointing towards the ground. stoked as:)
Your avenger look awesome to definitely one of a kind

I'd recommend getting a 3 row radiator core installed (like the automatics use) as the standard manual 2 row is barely adequate!!
