NEW Magnum 500 Legendary Wheel Scott Drake 17x7 aluminum wheel Episode 308 Autorestomod

[@RealJerb]

Good timing on this episode, I was just looking at rims and tires for my 65 stang

[@MircoAlexander365]

@Jeff I am doing research on this same wheels for my 69 fairlane. These come in 17x7 and 17x8, did you consider the 17x8 option? What prompted the 17x7 option? Thank you

[@williamguillIII]

Did that wagon have a roof rack option? I think it would look great with a chrome one!

[@Rvnghstwlf]

Have always like the 500 wheels really like the look of the up-sized 500 by Legendary. Like you said many up-sized classic wheels never look right. Where were these when I had my 73 Mach, 70 Challenger and 69 Roadrunner? Still waiting for someone to make a true 16" - 17" re-pop of the TRX wheel for fox body Mustangs/Capris, you listening Legendary?

[@chrisrye9128]

wheels really set that off nicely. I've rusty old keystone rims on my '72 w/ bf goodrich tires. similar look. I am considering the NPD rims myself. Good comparison vid. Perfect timing for me. thanks

[@stephenkowalski2448]

Good stuff. I have a 1969 mustang I just wish more manufacturers would offer 9 inch rims with the 5.5" backspacing which works perfect for fitting a very wide tire on the back. I run a 275/40r17 on mine with cragers 17x9 , 5.5" backspacing but would like to go to one of these all aluminum more classic styles

[@dogsense3773]

I got them on my 1967 cougar,8x17 235 tire car is 2 inch lower, love them, thanks

[@AutoRestoMod]

Cool I bet they look awesome.

[@kimandcraig306heath9]

Will these wheels fit a 2017 Ford Edge?

[@tonythediyer8537]

@Jeff Would be nice to see some video of the "professional driver" on the "closed track". ;)

[@dfritz2011]

Outstanding! I'll be saving this video for when I order my wheels. Thanks guys.

[@rob69270]

Love those wheels! I've been thinking about putting them on my 63 Galaxie convertible but I also want to put some Wilwood disc brakes on it. I currently have the stock 14 inch wheels and I know I need to go to AT LEAST 15 inch wheels to clear the caliper, but how do I determine how much offset I need? Love your show! You guys are awesome!

[@AutoRestoMod]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnnFloqclMZmrbc We cover that in this older video.

[@rob69270]

Thanks Guys!!! Good info! Love the channel, keep up the great work!!!

[@kf4ung]

Like those wheels, can will have to order a set for my 65 Galaxie. I only wish they had blue centers, but red will look nice with red stripe tires. When will you all be adding subframe connectors to Cam's Punisher, or are you not going to add them?

[@AutoRestoMod]

They also have a black center available. We had quite a battle around here deciding which to use.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We will look at subframe connectors. Most probably it will get them.

[@davidsullivan7455]

Really digging those wheels on the wagon! And I've never been much of a fan of the magnums 500s.

[@charlesgreathouse7376]

Nice old school look with modern performance.

[@clevelandmaker386]

the same way I felt when I saw a set of Sabres on a 58 Fleetwood sixty special

[@jayg1358]

Would these look good on a 71 Chevelle or would high end forgiatos be. Better

[@AutoRestoMod]

I like these. But high end wheels may be your thing?

[@jayg1358]

Do these also come with ss center caps and do they make them in 18 and 20

[@AutoRestoMod]

Caps are sold separately and the y are only available in 15, 16, and 17.

[@veronicaribecca6156]

Nice station wagon

[@Dick63Falcon]

Jeff, I have been thinking of using 15"x7" styled steel version on my Sprint hardtop. are these rims lug centric or hub centric? What is the inside diameter of the hub, will it clear a Granada rotor? Dick

[@AutoRestoMod]

They are lug-centric. Pretty sure they will clear the Granada brakes. But we'd contact Legendary Wheel to make sure.

[@Dick63Falcon]

I did call and ask but they could not answer the question. Got a contact that knows what they sell?

[@PHCBILL]

Nice wheels, I like em,and I will not comment on the need for paint/body work.

[@B1Springfield]

Wonder what it would look like with a little more tire bulge on the 17s

[@AutoRestoMod]

Probably pretty good. I did the sidewalls like that to keep the rims nice.

[@hotlegendarywheels9144]

Love the Magnum 500

[@stevess117]

Pretty wheels.

[@howardwhite9773]

New wheels? Double the value of the wagon? :P

[@AutoRestoMod]

We were kidding about that the other day. We may be getting danger close to having more in parts than the car is worth...

[@f150bft]

I am trying to like the bigger wheels but I can't get there.

[@AutoRestoMod]

It all depends on what you want for the look on your car. I'm not want to go for eighteen's nineteen's and twenties That is where a lot of the aftermarket performance tire system seems to be heading.

[@jayg1358]

Would these clear big. Brakes

[@AutoRestoMod]

Depends on the brakes. The 17's most likely would.

[@mojunk19]

Thank you for putting me in my place. That was not nice of me. Was having a bad week and did not think with my head. I look foreword to your shows every week. The hobby needs more +'s than --'s. I'm on my 2nd bare of soap.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Oh man, hope it isn't the Lifebouy...dove has a better flavor trust us we've been there before. No worries man we all have those weeks.

[@pjm8047]

Woooo!

[@earlymorninglizard7061]

What ever happened to Vinnie? He hasn't been in an episode in a while and I've been wondering whatever happened to him...

[@AutoRestoMod]

Vinnie's day job has taken him away from helping us. We hope that he can come back soon.

[@Dick63Falcon]

Tried contacting them without any success.

[@mojunk19]

The wheels and tires look great but at this point is'nt it like putting lipstick on a pig? The last thing on a build is tires and wheels. Buy the time your done with that rust bucket the tires will be out of date and rock hard. Remember there is a freshness date on the tires. The newer the better. The combo looks GREAT!

[@AutoRestoMod]

From Jeff: Thanks for calling my car a pig and a rust bucket! You kiss your mom with that mouth? Lets show some decorum dude. I wouldn't call your car a pig, or a rust bucket; show me the same courtesy.

[@townsey5612]

17s are absolutely hideous on any classic car.

[@AutoRestoMod]

To each his own. They also offer them in 15 inch rims.

[@dbol1977]

And 16 inch which I just purchased. The perfect compromise for me to run sticky tires and have the vintage look.

[@dogsense3773]

Got 17inch on my 1967 cougar, everyone loves them, and I'm 65
