Reproduction Hertz Mggnum 500 Wheels

[hertz350]

Looking for information on whether the reproduced 66 Shelby chrome Magnum 500 wheels are available? I see they are no longer on the Wheel Vintiques web site or on Mustang vendors websites.

Also looking for recommendations on which company makes the best chrome Magnum 500 14" wheels.

Thank you.

I have a set that cam on a car I bought from Vern. They look nice, the tires are new and a little oversized, did not rub on my car with stock height. I just have them stored right now.

They have unfortunately been discontinued.

There are no correct ones available on the market. They were really nice, and I wish they were still available.

I get inquiries at least weekly for them.

Your only choice would be to find originals. Those are getting tough to find as well.

If buying used Hertz wheels be absolutely sure what you are looking at. People all of the time get confused on the differences between the special Hertz Magnums and the regular Magnums. Having to tell proud owners that something like pricy wheels are not correct Hertz wheels is one of the worst things for me to do in concours judging over the years. There are Mopar Magnums wheels that are very close and have the same rim profile unlike regular magnums. The Mopar magnums have a slightly different offset. They still aren't correct but would be the next best thing all things condition wise being the same IMO. The regular magnums would be the second choice. What ever you decide just be sure you know what you are buying.There are a good number of people on this forum prepared to help you.

My wheels do not look like the correct originals, they are only for someone that wants the magnum look, as they are not correct.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that if one chooses to use Mopar magnums a spacer needs to be used on either the front or rear for clearance.  I remember a Shelby that had such spacers and magnums at the SAAC convention maybe 10+ years ago.

Sorry I don't remember having to use a spacer.I am skeptical that one is needed. I don't typically suggest using the Mopar wheel but when a Hertz wheel is not available they are good enough to pass scrutiny by the vast majority including some that should know better. The Mopar wheel uses the same rim and the center offset is just 1/4 or less difference in offset from the Hertz wheel. The bolt pattern of course is the same.
