The more I look at these the more I like them.
American Racing Magnum 500 style.
Unfortunately the black ones don't come in the size/bolt pattern or backspace we need.
17x9 +0mm offset, 5" BS for the rear.
One piece cast and off the shelf with 5x4.5" 5x114.3mm bolt pattern and pretty affordable. $$
Will have to order the Black/Machined for the rear and have them powder coated matte black.

For the fronts we'll have to order their 2 piece wheels, they are Cast Centers with Forged Barrels.
These can be custom ordered to the offset/backspace and bolt pattern you select. $$$$
Again, not available all black. Will have to order these with Black Center, Polished barrels and send them out to be powder coated all black.

Size for the fronts will be 17x8 with 5x4.5" BP Offset/Backspace TBD, probably ~5"- 5.5"
maybe 5.39" BS, 22.5mm Offset... "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Ordering custom, might as well get them exactly right...
Using the wheel/tire fitment tool gets me pretty close to a good backspace number but until I get the car at final ride weight, height and a proper front end alignment, I won't know exactly what BS to order.


I do think these will look perfect! Too bad they don't come in 18's...

I believe these were 17x8 with 5.5” backspace. ‘73-‘76 spindle and UCA and Cordoba rotors. These wheels are on Josh Walton’s blue ‘68 Convertible. Guy that owned it at the time had it in the body shop and we used my car to fit test the wheels and tires because we had identical suspension and brakes at the time. You have to make sure to run the shorter style Upper Ball Joint (type without a dome) to clear the wheel.
