So there once was a wheel at SEMA…a one off show piece at the US Wheel booth, and in red no less. My buddy Ralph (MOL) owns a bagged Inferno Red Magnum SRT8 and has a soft spot in his big heart for anything red.
He approached US Wheel at SEMA and said, “I’ll take it.”
“Take what?”
“Four of those. (Pointing to the red show wheel)”
“But sir, we don’t make those. That was just finished 2 days ago. We only have one. Its just for the show.”
“Not anymore its not.”
“I want 4, a staggered set-up. 22x9 in the front, 22x10 in the back. I’ll call you about the paint match.”
The sales guy rolled his eyes and reluctantly gave Ralph a card. Ralph promptly called him the following Monday and eventually got in touch with their custom wheel specialist. He drove up the their shop and they test fit, tested color, went over finishes and rivets and placed the order. A few weeks later, these babies were born.
Finally, here are, in my opinion, the best Magnum wheels on the planet. One-offs from US Wheel, 3-D ghost flames ground into the billet aluminum centers and then red candy powder coated, never to be made again.:mouth:
