Classic Alloy Wheel Week - The End



It is no secret that it is classic alloy wheel week on Cling on for dear life! So here are some more classic adds for the sought-after mags of the 70’s




MORRIS MAGS:

Was a skinny comparative to the Lester wheels, and had removable bearing holders for easier maintenance.



SHELBY MAGS:

Was clearly aimed for racing, using the race legend Carrol Shelby & Daytona as buzzwords to make the product sell. The Shelby mag was very Similar (I am not saying it was copied) to the Henry Abe mag, but instead of five spokes they had six. Most Shelby rear wheels where disc conversion
kits to improve rear brake efficiency.
