If anyone has one of these sweet 14" aluminum mags laying around I want it. I've got three of them and one odd ball steel wheel, it's going to be a while before I can spring for a decent set of wheels but I'd like to at least have 4 matching ones in the time being. Oh yeah and the body work is coming together well also!!

I was hoping to have it painted by now but the weather is getting to cool for painting in the garage so I'll have to wait till spring to get the paint on, but on the upshot I've got all winter to work the body.

A quick ebay search got me these... I think they're are the same brand and design, but the wrong bolt pattern:

I was checking on Ebay, I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996...586578880QQcategoryZ26432QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Siko...588167151QQcategoryZ63680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

but not a rim like yours.

I had a set of Western Wheel turbine rims on a pickup truck and they had fewer spokes, looked more like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURB...8012892138QQcategoryZ6763QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

so I'm not sure yours are Western or not. There was a guy on the FE forum that recently sold a whole set for $100.

Here's a full set of 15x8 that are slotted unilug wheels for $40 in Missouri:

He says one is cracked, you could put a pair on the rear and use yours on the front and have a spare front and rear rim?

And this guy has two of these left:

I had a set of those mags on my old mustang II when I was a teenager. However, the wheels went with the car

That's the set I linked to, but I didn't notice they were unilug. Looks like a pretty good match to me...

Yeah thats the set I'm looking at, I'm hoping the seller will just sell me 2 of them so I dont have to pay to ship the broken/un-needed extra, I'll run my 14x6's up front and those 15x8's out back, the more I look at them the more I like em maybe I'm just twisted like that, I'd still love a set of 18" bullit wheels but there a bit to expensive at the moment and as you have seen she's not quite ready for a set of show rims
