Did the magnum 500s come in 14x8 in the brushed finish?

Wide 14 inch tires are really hard to find and will be even harder in the future. Best to upgrade to 15 inch anyway.

Hey Wade, how have you been.

Did 15s come in the brushed finish? I know the 15" tires are easier to find, I was just wanting to stick with the stock 14" size for my car. May have to suck it up and get 2 15" for the rear

Any idea if the rim is brushed?

They only sell them chrome which is how the 67-68 wheels were starting in 69 they used a trim ring.... I had my wheels custom built with bare steel barrels but you could use a trim ring on the chrome barrel...

I don't like the chrome. My 14s have the brushed finish and I've really come to love the look of them.

I agree, which is why I went to the trouble of having wheels built....
