Cool man thanks

These were a toss up between mags and vintecs when I bought mine. One thing to consider is mags are a cast wheel which is where the affordability comes from. At the same time they seem to polish up real nice. I have a lot of billet specialty products on my truck and they continue to amaze me. One of those great all American hot rod companies. Here's a gorgeous 67 with them

And the money shot

Man thanks I thought that was them. I actually have that truck saved on my phone but couldn't figure out if they were the mag or a cragar wheel
Can't remember the name but they looked similar also. The mag must
Be a new wheel I couldn't find anything but a couple cars with them but now this helps a lot knowing that's them. Thanks Scott I appreciate it man!

I got a question man my only concern on with the polished
Wheels keeping them clean and shiny, I've always had chrome hows your experience with your billets? And what you use to clean them?

I've had too many chrome wheels that have turned junk so now I only run polished wheels on anything. As a driver the upkeep will be fairly high. Keep them clean, I just use soap and water and occasionally hand rub them with mothers and a cotton shirt (DO NOT use microfiber) usually once a year I have my wheels polished by a guy that acid washes them and hits them with compound on a high speed buffer. Big thing is avoid the de icer it destroys aluminum wheels. If your truck is a nice weather driver then the up keep will be very minimal. I've seen 20 year old aluminum wheels polish up and look better then new. Once a chrome wheel peels its as good as scrap. Also billet specialties ships there wheels with a mirror like polish.

Ok cool, I read somewhere where someone said to put wax on them soon as you get them and then put a aluminum polish with sealer on them then just use glass cleaner to keep them shiny, being you own a set I wanted to see what you suggested! Thanks again for help Scott!
