Magnum 500 Wheels

THESE ITEMS ARE NOT OFFERED FOR SALE! Any wheels we have for sale will be found at our Automotive Wheels page.

This wheel line was made by the Motor Wheel Corporation, one of the most prolific producers of steel "styled" wheels during the 1960's and 70's. In addition to custom aftermarket wheels, they made wheels for virtually all American auto makers during the Muscle Car era. Many of their designs are considered classics today. Chevy lovers remember the Chevelle SS wheel, Mustang fans, the Magnum series. Curiously, many do not realize that they are minor variations of the same wheel! Chrysler, AMC and Oldsmobile muscle cars also used this wheel in different combinations of size, chrome components, trim rings, center caps, etc. The following descriptions were compiled from many sources- (including the author's memory!) and may, or may not, be totally accurate. Some pictures are from our archive of D'Antiques products and others were stolen from various sources. Since this document is a noncommercial item, produced only for information, we felt no particular need to provide credits. Feel free to write with corrections, additions or comments.
