Ok, now I heard through the grapevine this weekend that the manufacturing plant for Magel, the company that has been making chromies in recent years, has burnt down. I heard this from two different shops in my area.
Does anyone have more information on this?
I was looking for the painted version of these rims in 5.5" wide this weekend and heard about it.

My Salesman at IAP said they will be producing them soon. I didn't ask where they were being made.

| IAP is making them. they are made in China and are very good quality. They have already passed DOT and will be available very soon. IAP does so manythings in China there quality standands are very high, these wheels will be as good or better then anything Mangle has ever produced! |
