How much demand for the magnum 500 style wheels. The car I've been looking to purchase for parts has what I think are an original set, maybe. Did they have chrome beauty rims? These ones do. I dont remember the Mustang ones having trim rings. They may have been added later I'm not sure yet.Anyways all four match. Thanks.

Big demand - unrestored sets are worth $200US; restored are getting close to $400.
Yes they came with trim rings and center caps.

Thanks, good to know. I dont think that they have the right centercaps. Looked like a newer model mazda logo on them. I finally got a # on the owner, same car (from my adopting orphans post). I left a message but havent yet heard back. Since I have reported on it someone stacked about a half dozen bare rims on the hood. It seems to be an underappriaciated car. Maybe that will help on the $ if I can get in touch with the guy. Thanks for the info.

Well, they are in pretty good shape overall. The centercaps arent original though. They are off an unknown Mazda. They do fit well. I think some Ford stickers over the Mazda logo will get them by for now.

What does the Mazda logo look like? The beauty rings on the factory Magnums - look at my avatar. For the heck of it, here is a pic of an original Granada/Monarch Magnum center cap.

They have the newer style logo that kinda looks like an eye. Its a oval with a little circle inside the lower portion of the oval.I'll try to get a pic on here later.
