Are these wheels any good ?

Found these on Ebay and I'm thinking of getting them for my 71.

Anyone had experiences with them ? Are Magnums the same everywhere ?

Dude, whatever you do do not buy from those people!!!!  They take forever to ship.  I bought those wheels in November and emailed them 3 weeks later if they shipped them yet.  I had to file a paypal claim to have them shipped.  The quality is nice though, but they don't come with centercaps

Another thing to be aware of with Ford/Mopar generic wheels is that even though the bolt hole diameter may be the same, they still may not go on.  If they are Ford specific the center hole will often be too small to fit over a Chrysler axle end.

Aside from the postage concern, the wheels were OK though ? I've never looked at new ones up close, and I'm assuming I could use the centre caps I have on my existing magnum rims.

I guess postage is a concern though - if it took ages to get to you, how long would it take to reach me in Australia ?

The quality is good, but if you do business with that guy don't be surprised if you don't get your goods.  he doesn't answer any emails either.  I bought the centercaps from a guy in canada who is excellent.  Cost 150 dollars and received them in 3 days
