Ok so I found these cool rare 5x5 bolt pattern wheels made by Kelsey Hayes called the Magstar the are beautiful but have run into a problem... the wheels are reverse wheels and the caliper hit the wheel. Thinking of clearancing the calipers so they will work or using a high quality spacer. I think they would bolt up to a drum brake car no problem

if I cant get them to work may try to sell them

those are beautiful. Good luck on the calipers! If you do sell them, let me know. Im running reversed on mine. Took a little "coaxing" haha

There's a factory pre-production pic of a 67 Delta Custom Holiday Sedan floating around and the car has those gorgeous wheels. Shame they didn't make it to production. Made that big car look like it was flying sitting still.

What size are the wheels? I figured a 15" would have cleared those calipers.

They sure look like the rims on the silver 68 HO convert that has been posted...I am trying to identify what rims they put on these few cars that were made.Anybody know?

Don't use wheel spacers. My father; Oldsguy, used spacers on his 69 Delta 88 many years ago and the wheel fell off of the car. Luckily, he was going slow. He wasn't hurt and the car just got slightly damaged on the fender.

If you want aftermarket wheels measure your stock wheels and buy wheels that are the correct size.

Those are beautiful! They will really set off the look of your car, and they aren't as common as the regular rally wheels.

i have run many sets of aftermarket wheels on the car just wanna take the look back and have the option to run different sets, having run a tire store for8 years i know all to well the old hazards of spacers, since i have figured out some replacement rotors for the car it will be easy to add longer studs IF I want but I think after getting the wheels to fit by removing some of the massive caliper material, they will be ok.. That being said if the offers are rght I may not worry about it and sell them, just so torn right now I know these would be absoulutely bad *** but undecided

anyone really interested in them can call me but Have no clue what shippng and all that will be 859-329-3083

Like to see that pic
and they are 15 x 8? havent measured the width as they have tires on them

rocketraider

Looked for it on the web and can't find it. I think it was in the pre-production literature or maybe the 67 press kit. Thought for sure it would be on Oldsmobility.

I ran spacers on my delta for about 8 months. Had zero problems with them coming loose. Just make sure they're torqued enough, then torque em some more.

russell7088

Ok these wheels are for sale. I am not gonna risk damaging my car. I have run many sets of adapters and just don't want to risk it with this car

russell7088

$600 on these wheels pm me with your offers i understand it is hard to price a wheel that we cant fnd on ebay or anywhere else regardless these are in great shape and will make a classic b body car look great and be the only one wth a set of wheels like ths

These Magstars are off of the rare mecury maruader x100 car look it up now to find someone wth one that needs a set of nice wheels

If they are off of a Merc Maruader X100 they will be 4 1/2" bolt pattern.

They're K-H aftermarket. X100 MagStars would have a Mercury centercap and as Henry has pointed out, Ford 4-1/2" bolt circle.

Two friends are pushing me to grab 'em and I'm still thinking bout it. They'd look great on my Starfires, but how long would they sit in the garage collecting dust?

russell7088

I agree with that but i also know that there were some fomoco stuff 5x5 i have been told (take it for what it is worth) that this was a wheel used on them
I dont know all I know is I cant use them and want to sell them. Without any type of knowledge about value it is hard to sell
http://www.rustynutscarclub.com/Lug_nuts.htm here is a cool bolt pattern guide if i am ever unsure.
and it does list the 69 70 marauder as 5x4.5 but no listing for a x100

66400

73-78 full size Ford and Mercury 73-76 Tbird, all 73-79 Lincolns all used 5 on 5" bolt patterns. The 69 X100 was 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

You have nice wheels but they didn't originate on a X100 if they are 5x5" pattern. Back in the '80's I parted out a insurance totaled X100 with 3 of the wheels and they were sold to a 67 V8 Mustang owner who installed two of the on the rear of his car.

You'll enjoy them in your garage a lot more than the dollars in the bank.

"how long would they sit in the garage collecting dust?"

Well, yeah we certainly can't have parts sitting gathering dust, right?

I know *I* don't
