    Look what happens.......now I have a collection.

    I got asked....did you know you were buying all of those? I thought it was only 2 wheels?

    Now I need to liquidate..

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    If those slots happen to be 5x5.5 bolt pattern, I might be interested.

    Next time she questions car parts, ask her how many feet does she have... On second thought, maybe not... You might be wereing one of them, where a soe doesn't belong.

    Any chance either of those 5 spoke torque thrust style wheels would be a 15x6 Keystone with a 4 3/4" bolt pattern?

    Pretty good sign of a good life when your woman is into buying extra parts!!

    Good for you. Definitely usable wheels there.

    No those are 14x6 5x5. I bought them because they were cheap. I'll probably own them forever since they are odd ball wheels.

    But I have what you're talking about on my car in the driveway. I kind of got them for free. I bought 4 wheels for $125.........sold the 2 14x6 wheels that came with them for $135....

    They are the 2 piece wheels......steel back aluminum front. They are my favorite wheels.

    I've had this one for probably 40 years and I use it as an extension cord hanger in the shop. I'd like to use it on the car if I could just find another one. I'm pretty sure it is solid cast aluminum but it's been years since I've even looked at the back side.

    I really like the keystones - had a set on my Harley van in the 70's.

    So, was that the comforter from the guest room?

    Naw it was my Daughter's old "Disney Frozen" comforter.
