Mike,
Legendary wheels are imported. I prefer U.S. made, but I haven't read anything negative about them. They have a Magnum 500 with a charcoal grey center instead of black that I really like. Also, very nice billet aluminum versions of the styled steel wheels. CJ pony parts seems to have the complete line of Legendary wheels.
Since my tires are 23 years old, I'm hoping when I replace them I can swing a new set of Legendary wheels as well in a 15 x 7 size. Then simply save my original wheels. For some reason 15" tires are less expensive than 14" tires. Must be because there is very little demand for 14" tires.
I agree, 17" and larger wheels are simply wrong for any car of the 60's and 70's. I've noticed those larger diameter wheels are popular amongst younger people new to the hobby with cars of this era. Then the first complaint is the car rides too rough.
