I think 'weathered' is the correct term

Had them put on as a test because I still want a set of aluminium wheels on the car, but the wheel-offset pushes the tire a little too close to the fenderlips. Guess I should've narrowed the rearaxle a little shorter than stock-size in hindsight.

Front-wheelfitment is more of a problem usually with these Darts, as their stock trackwidth is fairly wide to begin width, even more with discbrakes, so there aren't many (stock aluminium) wheels available that will easily fit under there with a decent tire on it.

I would be willing to try a set of modern 17" Mustang Cobra wheels, as they have an offset to the inside.
A local carshop here has 3 of these wheels for sale used, but won't let me try 1 on first to see if they properly fit.

Even if you leave them a deposit? If not, I wouldn't shop there

Our conversation didn't even get that far to suggest that.
It was a quick and simple 'No, not possible'. He mentioned also that 'all the info about these wheels (backspacing and such) could be found on the net'.
I had explained my car was a '73 Dart with custom-made/modified front brakes, so I would like to be certain these wheels from a modernday would fit in the fenders and such.
I think they will fit allright, but nothing is certain until you actually have such wheels on the car and see the fender clearances with the steeringwheel full lock-to-lock.

But yes, they can go pound salt, or snow...whichever comes first for them :o)

Bought a good piece of aluminium roundstock the other day so I can make my own V-belt pulley for use in a blower-setup...
