The pic is decieving on the size of it but from the design i'd have to say a pontiac wheel. Cant tell from the bolt circle but looks like a 5 on 4 and 3/4 (G or A body). Could also be a mustang wheel if the bolt circle is only 5 ON 4 and 1/2. Its been so long since I was in the tire business that I can't be sure about the ford thing though. Did it fit a GM car or not?

I'm going to guess it's a ford wheel...
The pontiac "spokes" are wider looking, and the "slots" on a pontiac wheel seem a little smaller, and "deeper set" into the wheel...
Also, that looks like a ford center cap.
Like I said, just a guess, but it looks like it came off a Maverick.

Thanks, guys. It has been so long I can't remember where or why I have it. I just want to get rid of it (and advertise it correctly). Anybody want it???? I did see that it is a 14"x7". I was thinking Pontiac. :beer

Honestly, you should try it on a GM car to be sure it isn't a ford wheel.... they are too close to call. and that center cap does look like a ford (mustand or maverik). But who knows, they are interchangeable. I would either try it on my car or take it to a tire shop and have them use their bolt pattern gauge to be sure of the pattern, and that will tell you for sure what you have.
