Title: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 26, 2006, 02:02:54 am I am self confesed wheel pervert but my personal favourites have to be the wide 5 mag style wheel ie Cal Parts, ET's, Crestlines etc so I thought I would start a thread for people to show off their Mags - Lets see what you've got dudes ;)
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Olaf A./DFL on June 26, 2006, 11:05:26 am great one -but why don't you add that to the wheels thread -sadly it's not that buisy any more…
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 26, 2006, 15:06:32 pm This thread is just for Wide 5 mag style wheels - I just love them ;)
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 26, 2006, 16:14:57 pm Nice to hear there are some fellow wide-5 mag enthusiasts out there..
I am trying to collect as much information about these wheels as possible. Not an easy task. There was a number of small companies that produced a lot of different wheels, most of them in small numbers too.. Here is a picture of one of my Rockets. They stand out from the others with their pointed spokes. 15x5 inches, alu center, steel rim. Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 26, 2006, 16:17:02 pm This is my set of ET Mags. They are all aluminium, 15x6 inches.
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 26, 2006, 16:24:15 pm All of the wheels in this picture (taken in Norway last year..) are from different manufacturers. And none of them are Crestlines..
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 26, 2006, 19:37:43 pm Cool another pervert just like me ;D Now about those ET'S the only set I have seen have been the Steel/alu type
But like you say there was so many manufacturers and different castings its hard to know what is what :D Here is one of my personal favourites - also what are those tires on your Rockets? Size? Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 26, 2006, 23:19:22 pm The rear tires (on the right in the last pic) are Mickey Thompson Indy Profile F-70-15s. The ones up front are a little harder to come by.. They are 5.60-15 Goodyear Mini Customs, produced in 1972 ;D
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 27, 2006, 01:21:41 am Yeah I noticed your rear tires before :) I don't suppose you know of any of those front for sale ;)
Here's an Original Blue streak on an ET (steel/ali) I drove round the block a couple times on these Bluestreaks - lets just say there is not much grip when they are cold :o Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 27, 2006, 18:28:37 pm The Bluestreaks look awesome combined with that rim! Sadly they are almost impossible to find in decent condition. Yours look better than most I have seen. When it comes to the 5.60 Goodyears I'm afraid I can't help you. I found mine on ebay, have never seen them anywhere else.
Back to the mags.. Here is an ad for the Crestlines. Though not pictured the VW wheels are at least mentioned. If anyone should come across an ad or any other information about the Rocket mags please let me know. Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 27, 2006, 19:04:14 pm Cool advert - you see loads of these little ads in old Hot VW's - I'll have a look and see what i can find for you dude
Here's one more Cal Part for ya :) Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rune on June 27, 2006, 20:44:20 pm A snapshot of one of my crestlines...
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Turtle001 on June 27, 2006, 20:58:34 pm does empi 5's count? (they got a small % of magnesium ;))
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 27, 2006, 21:02:24 pm Nope they don't count >:( ;) we just want mags mags and more mags ;D
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 27, 2006, 21:12:37 pm Mags, mags and more mags.... SCC last year.
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Turtle001 on June 27, 2006, 21:49:05 pm hey monkeyboy -- what paint did you use for the heart of your mags?
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 28, 2006, 01:47:45 am I had a friend do them with a proper spray gun but the colour is just PRIMER GREY! oh yeah we did add a little black to the primer just to darken it a little.
I was going to do them GOLD ;D Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Luftkraft on June 28, 2006, 12:38:24 pm There are some mag wheels, too :P (found on thesamba.com)

Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 29, 2006, 15:39:21 pm damn... who needs porn? Thats for sure ;) ;DTitle: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Rocket-Racing on June 29, 2006, 21:41:13 pm Nice combo for sale on ebay a while ago. Cal Parts and 356A brakes. Not sure sure if I like these wheels polished though.. Makes them look to new and "resto" :-\
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Lee.C on June 29, 2006, 23:11:39 pm your right dude - the scruffy ones look way cooler ;D
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Trond Dahl on June 30, 2006, 08:35:33 am I totally agree, If he wanted polished empi 5 spoke he should have bought some... ;D
Title: Re: Mag wheels dude :) Post by: Luftkraft on June 30, 2006, 13:39:16 pm Here's a very nice ET Mag wheel on Jose Delorto's oval. Btw, the wheels are for sale, center caps included.
