Just for the update, Wolfrace never made a Magslot wider than 8 1/2 J if you do find any they are not Wolfrace only copies.
The other caution is that a lot of the 8 1/2 J's were mainly sold for American muscle cars that had mega engines and used on drag strips .
So these big wheels were never really good enough for that use as the wheels were made up of a poor alloy ingot machined straight and only polished on the outside and were very prone to having stress cracks between the holes making them dangerous even for a light weight buggy unless you know the history of them but in my opinion they are the most attractive wheels ever fitted to a car.

You are correct about the larger sizes, which is why I mentioned in my original post about looking for the "American Racing" brand, as I am led to believe that these were sold by Wolfie agents to cover the larger sizes. Its also how I keep managing to find them as I never bother searching for Wolfrace when I do.

Looking for cracks is indeed something you should always do, but to be fair, the 4x130 pcd was not really used on the US Muscle car scene, as most used the chevy fitments when racing.
