All of the Ford Magnum 500's that I've seen had the larger lug nut countersink for the 13/16" lug nuts. 3/4" (Mopar) lugs fit too deep in the countersink.

Are the 14" inch version of the Chrysler road wheels common?
And does anyone repop the 15" version?
Thanks
The full chrome 14" are 67/68 only,getting scarce.

Motor Wheel Corp. made the 5-spoke wheels for Chrysler/GM/FoMoCo chrome & trim ring versions. A good Chrysler Corp. & Oldsmobile "rule of thumb" satin spokes = factory pieces and chrome spokes = aftermarket (Motor Wheel Corp. themselves) & reproduction (& restored). 1967-'68 Chrysler Corp. chrome "ROAD" wheels were 14x5.5" for b-bodies & 14x6.0" for c-bodies.

what does this mean?
Im not questioning it but I have the Ford wheels on my R/T which were on the car since around 84. I haven't seen any adverse effects of having these wheel on the car. Would like to know if I should be be looking for anything.

If you don't pull a lot of G's sideways the too small lugs won't cause a problem but it still isn't right.

"MAGNUM" was Motor Wheel Corp.'s name for the all chrome aftermarket wheels they sold & FoMoCo used the name also. Probable original application for the OP's (pretty valuable) wheels.
