@GTS. Thanks for the compliment.
And good point on the size of the finger joint. The portion of the joint exposed on the front (top) of the new wheel appears wider because the radius on that portion of the wheel is larger (3/8" vs 1/4") than on the OEM wheel. Had I shaped that part of the wheel...
If you decide to go with ACC, you may be able to get it directly from them - or at least compare prices - rather than going through a reseller. I dealt directly with ACC years ago and here's a link to a copy of the invoice showing their contact information.

Here are a few photos of my engine bay. I'm the original owner. A couple of things that are "wrong," or different than original:
1) The anti-freeze sticker is placed incorrectly - should be more toward the driver's side
2) The wiper motor and blower motors are painted silver rather than...
Hey Michael Bucklew - Bill Buckalew here.
Just Dashes did the dash in my EB-5/EW-1 1970 Challenger in 1999. It is still like new. Hard to see in this photo, but the color is a perfect match and the detail work is excellent - down to the scripted Challenger emblem, only available in 1970. I...
