    Are these the "D" shape or the oval shape that would have been original on my 71 Renegade?

    The shiny one is what I have now, but I'm a little more partial to the older mag look.

    The ones on the left *look* like the later Renegade wheels because the slots are oblong. The early wheels have a very noticeable "D" shape to the slots, and these rims are also magnesium IIRC, rather than aluminum.

    Thanks Steve, that's what I thought. I'll probably go ahead and get them anyway. I figure four wheels for $40.00 I can't go wrong.
