I looked around the rim of the wheel for any numbers or stamps and it was plain. I think they are Magnum 500’s. Can anyone verify?

look like magnums to me. Possible repops either way I dig them.

Looks like you may have to look harder.

15" with chrome spokes, I'd say reproduction wheels.

They are icky.. But ill buy them from you and use them as roller wheels :rofl:
 
Road wheels looked the same but were not chrome out to the bead. They had beauty bands and the ones I have seen looked like the spokes were sort of brushed metal. These are road wheels im talking about not 500's.
 
I am thinking of buying Firestone wide oval redlines and new wheels. I have Keystone Klassics on my other Coronet and they are nicer than these on my Bee.
 
Motor Wheel also sold Magnum 500 wheels direct to consumers, so they could be original 1960's wheels.
 
They are most likely not original as my Super Bee was restored by the second owner (I am the third owner) and it had was in the World of Wheels car show in the 1980's sporting an acid bubble paint job, tuck and roll interior and shag carpeting. I have pictures of the car before it was repainted and put back to original and it had old crusty steel wheels on it.

...and I should add that Magnum 500 wheels were also available on gm products, but of course the bolt pattern is different.
 
Did a 1968 440 4 speed factory GTX with magnum 500’s come with 14” wheels?
I always thought it was 15” wheels
Same question on a 68 hemi RR car
 
Pretty sure "all" Magnum 500 style wheels offered new on Mopars were 14".
 
All of the 68 B-Bodies had 14 inch wheels with the exception of the Hemi cars which got the 15 inch steel wheel. Hemi B-Bodies in 68 were limited to the plain steel wheel with either the poverty caps or a full wheel cover. No Magnums or Road Wheels available as an assembly line piece for the 68 Hemi B-Bodies.

That must mean that 68 hemi wheel covers are worth a BUNCH of money, and probably date coded 15" steelies too.
