YearOne Magnum Style Aluminum Wheels
« on: March 23, 2014 - 12:19:54 PM »
Anyone using this type of wheel from YearOne? 17X9 5" backspacing. Got pics? I'm considering these for mine. Thanks!

I just ordered these.  American Racing VN500 (aka: AR500).  They are 2-piece aluminum and are available custom-built-to-order in a variety of sizes, widths, back-spacing, and bolt circle/pattern.  I ordered (2) 15x10 and (2) 15x7 ($1,147 out the door with free lug kit from MR. Wheel Deal).  It takes roughly 4 weeks for delivery for the "built-to-order" wheels.

BTW - You might be better posting your inquiry on the Suspension, Wheels/Tires, and Brakes forum.

Do the AR ones come any bigger then 15" ? The original poster was asking about YearOne 17"ers

I bought a set of the YearOne Magnums, I've got 9"'s and 8"'s....with Nitto Tires.....Have not mounted them on the car yet...

Pictures are on my web site... http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/1971FC7383.html

Yes, they are available in 17's.  See the AR link for available sizes.

Sorry.  Here's the AR site link.  The other one is for a dealer/retailer, but good for additional reference.

Thanks for the info, I ended  up getting convo pros instead and went with 15 x 8 all the way around, they worked well on both front and rear.
