What is the model of this wheel?


Hi

I need to know the name or model of the wheel in the attached picture. Any idea?

This is similar to Pontiac Rally II wheel, but not the same.

Regards from Chile

Mauricio

Those are Super Sport wheels used on Chevelle, Nova and Acadian.

Ray has that right, they are a 14x7 magnum style rim. They were on 69-70 chevelle ss, 69-70 nova ss, and 69 camaro ss. They also used them on 69- 70 olds as well but instead of silver painted highlites, it was a bright brushed steel finish. d.

Yes, they were advertised as Magnum 500's in the 60's/70's. 442 had them beginning in 67 I believe as a "Super Stock 1" wheel.

.........if you seen these on a Mopar muscle car the center cap said Magnum 500 .   As stated up top  GM chevelle etc  used them with the trim ring and the same center cap just had SS on it instead of the magnum 500.  I have a set of 14x6 on my 68 wagon that came off a Olds and they are all chrome with the black painted center, I just stuck on the SS decals .  Nice wheels.  3 bar spinner was available too.  If you are buying them make sure they fit GM and not a mopar

 Not only Mopar but Ford and AMC had them as well! And as far as olds using them in 67 and 68, yes but yhey were a 14x6. d.

All are solid points posted previously. One more thing I can add. I'll bet they were probably manufactured for the "Big 4" by the OEM vendor Motor Wheel Corporation, a company like Kelsey-Hays.  As was stated, they were available generically as Magnum 500. As I recall they were pretty reasonably priced compared to aftermarket mags.

I believe that Wheel Vintiques reproduces all of these wheels if your looking for newer stock.

Motor Wheel Corp. marketed there own line as well, sold at SEARS and such at the time.

There line had a red center with the MW looking like a cross flag..ALSO there aftermarket line was ALL BRIGHT CHROME , even the faces of the spokes.

For the most part , the olds are all chrome , but the raised spoke area is SATIN,, I think 64 / 65 olds was all bright and chrome rim , later OLDS used a trim ring with satin spokes....

I have a full set of the all bright chrome 14 x 6

I was thinking of switching to these style of wheels but I'm not too sure how it will look in contrast with the dark blue. If I do it I would need an alternative to the SS cap.

Thanks for the photos the last car is almost identical in color to mine. I could always go with a genric cap or an PMD but that wouldn't be right.
