The Magnum 500: Made for Muscle Cars
One of the most popular wheel choices in the muscle car era were those beautiful Magnum 500 wheels they introduced in late 1963. First available in the 14-inch size, they later became available in 16 inches, since the dimensions of wheels grew. The Magnum 500 was a rather common factory option on almost all models of muscle cars.
In fact, Ford, GM and Mopar all used them on their cars. Interestingly, only one company refused to install them on their muscle cars. No Pontiac ever came with Magnum 500 wheels. They used their own version they called Rally II wheels.
