Best Chrome Magnum 500 wheels

[71340RT]

Looking at buying a set of magnum 500 chrome wheels and wondered who makes the best ones as far as the chrome holding up. I have never had a set but think they look great. Wheel Vintiques makes them and not sure who else does. I want to move up to 15 inch wheels on my 73 challenger and have to buy new wheels so now is the time to buy rally wheels or magnum 500.

I have a set of these, but no road time to tell you how they hold up.

My wheel vintiques wheels have held up pretty nice - been a couple years on my charger with weekend driving and such.  Summit and jegs had the best pricing at the time when I was looking

WHy not use Year one wheels & go to 17/18" you will have a lot more tire choices

I have a set of 15x7 and 15x8 Wheel Vintiques Magnum 500s that I took off my car (they were on for 3 years) when I got the 17" rims that Chryco referred to.

I'd be willing to make you a good deal on them but I'm not sure what shipping what be.

  I sent you a e-mail and will pm you about your wheels.

That's what I  was going to post/suggest too.

What's everyone's thoughts on the most authentic magnum wheel design available ?
i.e. true to the shape of the spokes etc

Well if you want authentic you really don't want chromed barrels, starting in 69 Chrysler Road Wheels used brushed trim rings....  Also they were all 14"...
 I had original centers cut out of 14" Road Wheels & welded into 15x7 & 15x8 painted barrels... I run repo 15" brushed trim rings with them...

thanks

when I say authentic, I suppose I mean the closet to the shape and curves of the spokes

some of the Magnum style wheels don't look as nice

e.g. I reckon the CRAGARS look too stiff ()
like the spokes are too straight or something...

How about these;). I liked them because they looked somewhat like the 500's.  Mounted and ready to go on your car;)not the back ones ... Is it obvious I want to get rid of these lol.....I had a set of wheel Vintiques on my 68 charger....they were ok....after two years some of the paint started to come off...it was never in bad weather and I never washed the car with water....vinhttp://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/5130280470.html
