I am looking for a nice set of vintage Chrome magnum 500 wheels for Gm vehicles. They would have been sold at speed shops in the sixties. They were a reverse rim with the numbers 833c stamped on the inside and they were made by Motor Wheel Corporation. I am looking for a set but would consider nice singles and pairs.

The ones from Craigslist are from a Buick. The ones I am looking for were not available on new cars. They could be bought at speed shops or tire stores. The number is 833c. They look like Magnum 500 but the rim is reversed giving them a deeper look. I will try to post a picture.

They are at the bottom of that ad.

The rims on eBay are 795c. These are standard magnum 500 and not the same as 833c rims I am looking for. The wheel rim is reverse on the 833c compared to the standard 795c.
What is the measured back spacing on the 833C?
Those look like just Olds SS1 rims.Wheel Vintiques reproduces them in both 14" & 15" as their Series 52 wheel & sold through Jegs & Summit too.

Scroll down to see the different B.S. available on the 14".

The SSi wheels you are talking about are different. The outside rim on the wheels I need is reverse of the SSi wheels. The 833C is much more attractive. I have spoken to wheel vintiques and the owner has told me that he can reverse the centre and make a set for me. He has done it before. This is my last resort as I am looking for a set of original 833C wheels for my car.
The BS for the wheels I am looking for is 3 1/8".
Thanks for all your help.
