What is the correct name of this wheel? and is it still being produced?

I find similar when i look for Mag 500, but cant find where to buy them.

I tried to attach it.

I think a member here had problems with the paint peeling off the "Wheel Vintiques" set though.

Thanks for the reply, I was seeing a lot with a mustang center cap and was not quite sure.

I do believe you are correct.  Was it Twodko?  I forget.

It was used  by every car maker back in the day.  They all had different names for it as well but Motor Wheel supplied them and they seem more popular now than when they were new.  :lol:

Or Styled Steel Wheel or Chrome Plated Steel Road Wheel or Cast Styled Road Wheels, I think they used a bunch of names.

Dino

I 'think' the road wheels are the same style but with trim ring while the magnums are cast.

You see Road Wheel pop up as far back as 1967 (pre trim ring).  I think it was changed around a bit and wouldn't be surprised if parts catalogs list it differently and Plymouth and Chrysler literature differed from Dodge.

Generally '69 & later trim ring style are more commonly referred to as Road Wheels

I do know that in 67 they referred to them as Road Wheels too.

We always called them "road wheels".  The other styled steel wheels (with the oval holes all the way around) were always called "rallye wheels"!  :yesnod:

It was really quite simple back in the day. In fact, nobody ever called them "Magnum 500 wheels" like they do today (back 25-30 years ago).  :D

"Magnum 500" was a generic brand name for the same wheel manufactured by Motor Wheel, a division of Budd wheel.

The center caps of a genuine Magnum 500 wheel had crossed flags, and were available through aftermarket tire companies...
