Identify mags

Post by Harv »

I managed to buy these ally mags today, and am thinking of stashing them for the meth monster project. Grace drove over to pick them up... I might have to bury them in the yard to stop her stealing them for the ute :lol: .

They are 13x7 wheels, with the only identifying marks on them a 13x7 cast into the back. Looks like they had two rectangular stickers on each wheel inside the "holes", but the stickers are long gone. Any idea of who the original manufacturer or model were? I've got to source some caps, and would like to aim for the right ones if possible.

Techo specs:
13x7 wheels.
205/60/R13 tyres (methinks these will scrub... may have to back off a little on the width).
4.257" front spacing.
3.706" back spacing.
0.276" negative offset.
2.65" centre bore.
6 3/16" axle pad.

A photo of the inside or hub facing may help in identification Harv

i don't know much about identifying mags Harv, but they look similar to Jellybeans to me.

Cheers,

Thanks guys. I agree - looks like they are Magnums. Nothing cast into the back of them though except "13x7".

Cheers,

G’day Harv
Good buy. With a polish up they would look neat on Grace’s Ute :thumbsup:

Don't encourage her :ebiggrin: . I put a lumpy cam in Number 1 Son's VL Commodore, now apparently she wants a lumpy cam in the ute. I think the hoon bit might be somewhat hereditary though :lol: :lol: .

Gotta laugh, now that he is on his P's he can't drive anything with an engineer's certificate for 3 years. No V8 EK wagon for him. Grace on the other hand keeps reminding him she can drive it on her L's (if I ever finish it :roll: ).

Could they have stamped brand inside the tyre well perhaps - have seen it there back in the 90's when I was a tyre fitter.

Do look cool and will clean up nicely if you can get onto a wheel balancer to spin the up and clean up the edges.

I'll look after the meth monster for you Harv - you dont want those lead footed kids driving that around :evilll:
You will find me lost somewhere!
