repo road wheels 'magnums'

[realn96]

I  have two question here. one is ,on a 71 did the road wheels come with trim rings or was the wheel chrome?
second , is how are the new repo magnum wheels? anyone buy theses and install them? do they rust right away?
any input would be much appreciated..

from what I see, 14 inch had the trim ring and 15 inch was all chrome not ring used.

In 1970-1974 All E Bodies ONLY came with 14" Magnums all of which came with a trim ring. I don't believe these wheels are being reproduced.

   On an E-Body it was only 14" for the Road Wheels (Magnums) originally.    But you can find the reproduction is all sorts of sizes.     Great looking wheels for an E-Body.  They are super cool.

Some 14"s and 15"s....

You can even get them in 17"!

from the factory,  the 1970-'74 e-body "CHROME STYLE ROAD WHEEL" (sales code W23) was 14x5.5" & had a brushed trim ring w/polished lip

thanks guys for your help. I was thinking about buying them in 15". wondering if I should install the trim rings over the chrome? then again, that probably would start to rust the chrome where the trim ring tabs  hit the chrome rim!
I do like the trim ring look better! But 14" with 3:91 probably not a good idea

I would go 15" min, better selection of tires and they seem to fill the wheel well better. @Sleepychallenger just swapped 15" on his car and it made a big difference.

I will go with the 15" thx.  Hope the chrome don't start rusting away or pitting.

I wish the Road Wheels had been offered in 15" back in the day.  I sure like them better than the 15" Rallyes.

You could always put a 15" trim ring on those wheels.

As a kid I probably spent hours looking at the factory 70 Cuda brochure with the airbrushed 15 inch road wheels.

Go with the 15" chrome and skip the trim rings.  IMO - magnums look better without the trim rings.
