Thread: Jellybean/Kidney mags

Tweet

Hi people,

I'm a first time poster so I'll make it quick! I'm looking for some of the old fashioned Jellybean or Kidney style mags that were all the rage in the 70's. They've got a big, deep dish with 5 kidney shaped slots. Check out the wheels on the new Starsky and Hutch Torino if your not sure what I mean. I need 'em in 15x7 and 15x 10. Does anyone know if someone still makes them? I've searched the net high and low but I can't find a thing. Surely someone out there must still do these wheels

Cheers
Scotty

Jellybean or Kidney.......... the first ones I know of were made by ET mag wheels in the 60's, called a ET 5 slot mag, many others have copied them, the first ones were made to fit a single bolt pattern, the latter was called vari-fit I believe which came with the appropriate washer for your app, had to made sure these did'nt run loose, good luck on your hunt, they are getting rare, I have a chevy set but not for sale.

Hi Scotty,

I have a set of wheels that sound a lot like the ones you are looking for. The vintage is right, I got them in 1968 for my Corvette. Following is the description. 15" X 7" E-T 5 slot Mag Wheels - set of four complete with center caps and lug nuts. Classic five spoke design, 5 hole GM bolt pattern fits Corvette, Camero, Chevy, etc., clearance cut for disk brakes. Fair condition. I am just ready to list them on e-bay, but if you want them we can save a lot of hassle. My asking price is $500, plus shipping if you are more than 50 miles from Portland Oregon. I will provide photos of all if you are interested.

Thanks,
John
