Mag wheels

1968 Mustang fastback Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt.

Magnesium is an extremely light metallic structural material. In the 1950s and 1960s, racing wheels were developed from magnesium, hence the term ‘mag wheels’.

Pictured at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show is the 1968 Mustang fastback Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt. It has American Racing Torq Thrust mag wheels.
