Wheels used on Trans-Am Camaros
Jon Mello:
How about some 15x8" 5-spoke magnesium American mags direct from GM with the
original box crate they came in? Pretty doggone cool !

That is something I haven't seen before. Surely very telling that they came in a wooden box. they were taking race parts very seriously.
Are thes still NOS ?

Those are really cool to look at, especially in the box with the original labels. I don't know if I'd want to run on them though.

Jon Mello:
I think Gary used them and they are not NOS but I have asked and will let you know.
Yes, these are truly very cool to look at but magnesium gets brittle with age. I've seen people race with these 40+ year old mags but it might not be the wisest thing to do.
Jon Mello:
15x8" magnesium version of the American 200-S, sometimes referred to as the "Daisy" mag. This mag first came out in time for the start of the '69 Trans-Am season and was primarily being used by the factory-backed Boss 302 Mustangs but they quickly switched to Minilites. Others who used the 200-S for at least part of the season were Craig Fisher in a '69 Camaro and Bob Tullius in a Javelin.
