I still maintain dom's are shocking pink...thats a bike shop invoice...not an invoice from Peregrine...be willing to bet they made a mistake ordering your wheels....

I see no difference between dom's and smokinendo's wheels except lighting...

here's my mags...indoor lighting...thats a NOS radberry stem...i can take a picture of the two close together later....in daylight...



These are Lavender Peregrines....

One of my friends had a set of BLUE Peregrine/OGK mags just like the ones on SmokinEndo's Profile. Other than my friends set, those are the only other blue ones I've ever seen.

Then another friend had a set of RED Peregrine/OGK mags. And I mean red like Skyway Tuff Wheels. He bought them thru mailorder in 1985 from either Frankford Bicycle or Hank & Frank. I just remember the name Frank somewhere in the name. My one friend says he still has them till this day. I haven't talked to him in years though. I've never seen anothe red set other than his.

I know I've got a 1986 Redline catalog somewhere with some pics of the Peregrines. I'll try to find it and scan the Peregrine pictures.

My buddy Relic has some blue ones on his 86 Kuwi Bravo KT, and I was once offeres a set of Red ones in a trade; both Peregrines, not OGK.

Here is a set of NOS Radberry Peregrine mags I have.  These are not faded at all.

Per your request:

Well, this is interesting. I went thru a bunch of old mags, and the first mentions/ads of Peregrine mags seems to be around mid-85. In the earliest ad (I could find) with Peregrine wheels, it simply says "comes in colors to match all the Redline painted componentry". Nowhere do I see them calling the "purple" mags lavender. They do call the pink wheels "Shocking Pink".

Then in the 1986 ad, they still mention Shocking Pink, but now it officially calls the purple wheels Radberry. In the 1986 Redline catalog, it's called Radberry as well. Interesting. My theory is that Peregrine came out with lavender wheels (and other colors) in conjunction with the 1985 Redline line up, then when Redline officially called their bike color Radberry, Peregrine followed suit...

From the 1986 Redline catalog:


These are the best resolution I could do...

i just took 3 pics of my peregrines...they are a tealish in color, graphite composite and  up against the new blue tuffs you can see a more true color...maybe a lil faded, def dirty.. but i bought em in 85 and they will be on a bike someday... just dont know what other colors they will go with

Oh and the deal on the Graphite Composite lettering and such is simply different generations of said wheel. Peregrine got in trouble for ever calling them Graphite Composite and they were forced to remove it from their mag wheel line. Graphite composite is what Skyway Graphite's are made out of and if you've ever seen them in person you've seen the gold and black fibers in the graphite material. Graphite in a Black material and they were making bright white wheels that read Graphite Composite right on the side, everyone who knew anything about graphite knew it was fake and it didn't last long.

and there are different locations for the lettered stampings too some are on the fin of plastic that sticks up in-between each mag blade and some are on the outer lip where the brake pads would be applied. Some say Peregrine Master Graphite Composite and some just Peregrine. Plus if there are some with no labels at all there is a chance that pads have rubbed it away over the years ? There are also a couple different hub variations.There is one with 10 straight bars of plastic that are all of equal height and there are some where the height of every other plastic bar is high and low this can clearly be seen in the catalog scan posted above. The Shocking Picks are the only one with 10 of equal height pictured which I believe are from the later mags and probably have the stamped letters on the in-sides

now I feel like I'm in incoherently rambling LOL

Let me post this and re-read it then I'll be back with more God it's late....

The second gen fronts still have the high and low spots on the hub.

That Air Uni is Delicious is that Paul's (Bronxstyler's) old ride ? The white and blue has always been my favorite.

You said that the second gens still have the high-low type hub but your pic shows the all equal height hub, do you have another second gen with the high-low style hub and the lettering on the center fin ? Just wondering

Sure Discount Harry's on RT130 used to have at least 10 sets of black in stock at all times (that place ruled for Peregrine mags they had tons hanging up around their bike area as a kid)

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to explain about the hubs. It's had to put in words cause were talking about plastic and not a part particuliarly. Let me get a pic together to aid me in explaining.

That's crazy. My Aunt used to work there and that's where I got mine from.

Also, look at these first gen's with all high spots on the front hub area:
