local swap meets may be a source too... hint: they won't be cheap unless they're messed up. and they are plastic, not "mag"... you might be confusing 5 spoke wheels with the term "mag", which really relates to magnesium cast wheels.. see: "snowflake BMX mags" the 5 spoke BMX wheels made of metal are aluminum cast wheels, and they are heavy junk. starting your search here won't net much, but hey, it was worth a shot. :thumb: |

Search on Craigslist, Ebay, Offerup, etc.

Skyway still makes the mag wheels. They are great, I have a black set I use all the time.
Porkchop BMX will help you with purchasing them. |
Ok thank you

Here is an example of the Skyway mag. They come with sealed cartridge bearings now. Axle is still old school size though. Best tubes to use are the 48 mm schreader length valves, easier to attach a pump head.

Wouldn't recommend Ebay because of their hidden fees. They apply their transaction fee percentage to shipping and taxes. Very unethical f you ask me. Stick with Craigslist or Offerup.

they are heavy junk but I've never seen a bent 1, whereas Skyways & spoked wheels are often bent. if all you wanna do is ride, those alloy walgoose wheels are fine. it'll make you stronger because it takes more to get them going. :thumb:
