Many Thanks to Don Rush for posting these Mag 500s on Facebook for the seller. I’ve wanted a set since I was a kid going to the local library to read the back issues of Hot Rod magazine.

They’ve been a long time coming, and I couldn’t be happier!
M500’s still the best looking wheel for these cars…
That’s looks very good! Congrats!
These are great wheels and hold on to the classic look without over doing it. Looks great!
Looks awesome!
Looks like 15”? They look especially good on a black car! Really great choice!
They are the 15’s Don posted last month for pickup in San Antonio. I drove down with my son and picked them up from the owner who is doing a full resto-mod of his 69 convertible.
My car was originally gold, and the black paint isn’t great up close and was shot with every piece of trim on, so there are some overspray spots and some bad surface areas showing through if you get up close. That bit aside, I totally agree that the Mercury Man caps and the dark accents on the wheels definitely make a statement, and since the C pillar emblems had the color and plastic removed and are just chrome now, it all ties together nicely to my eye.
What is your tire size?
The wheels came with P235 60 R15’s all the way around.
