Default "Billet Vintique" Magnum 500

Anyone with experience with Billet Vintique Magnums(They were Wheels Vintique but have split off from non billet wheels)? I really liked the Budik Muroc 3 but so far no posts on my previous thread for "painted pockets" photos despite Jays post and my attempt to contact him through this forum. Any other Magum style wheel ideas/photos?

To me the Muroc is more of a "kidney bean" style wheel. Schott wheels has something with that similar look. Have you looked at their wheels?

Octane wheel looks great if "complicated". Any view on the quality of this manufacturer?

PB5,

I have a set of Billet Vintique Magnums I plan to use for one of my fastback Mustangs. I went with 17x8" front and 17x9.5" rear. I really like these wheels, and prefer them over the American Racing version.

Mike

Yes they are. 18x8 on the front and 18x9.5 on the rear. Thanks for the compliment.

I got the YearOne cast aluminum Magnum wheels for my Camaro and thought they are great if you are trying to keep the original style. I attached a picture for comparison, but Fords had the polished spokes and outsides.
