Phew, those ebay ones are indeed a rare item, according to the listing they are cast from pure "Magna".

No doubt the wheel nuts are turned from a rod of unobtanium.

All I say is; Mag Caps wanted

Well done if you bought them Vegard. I was the under bidder!

Hi Pete,
What is the date of the mags the two Cosmic adds are in. Trying to work out when the mk2 Cosmic wheels became available.

I think the earlier one was from an early 1966 Motor and the second one from a 1969 edition. They appeared in other mags which I'll try and check when I get time in order to pin down a date for you but I suspect the mk2 wheels came out in late '68.

No I haven't bought any. Were there a set on Ebay?

Sorry, thought you were hinting you was the winning bidder on the JAP Mag wheels on ebay!

Some more. These look like 6.5" to my eyes.

Get 8 wheels and lord knows what else as well. I reckon that's probably got "some bits" on it.

Looks like you'll get a whole lot of P38 with it !
