Jees, over 20 years ago I bought these off a guy who said he ran them on a '79 Mustang he used to auto-x BITD.

Years later, a good friend of mine who happens to be a Mustang fanatic spotted them in my garage and went nutzo. "Do you know what these are?! These are (no longer remembered wheel manufacturer name here)!! Hold on to these!!"

I forgot I even had them 'till now. I also no longer remember the company, model, importance and other minutiae that would make a 6'5" 300lb Mustang enthusiast to lose composure. At this point I'm embarrassed to ask him again.

Anybody here know?

Thanks!

Are they aluminum or magnesium?

Googled that and learned something new. Pontiac did that in 13's on old Sunbirds.

I've seen the same wheels on a mustang 2 cobra.

They look like an old set of Westerns, but I don't know for sure.

I love the fat lips they put on the wheels back then.

I think the fact that they're 14x6's may limit the value compared to the 15" version you found.

Not much demand for a 14x6 in that bolt pattern these days.

I'm slightly disappointed by this thread. The OP actually answered is own question. I mean that's pretty awesome but I feel the hive should have done better.

In reply to Nick (LUCAS) Comstock:

Think it was a combination of "4 lug snowflakes" and "Mustang II" for search terms that lead me in the right direction.

So thanks goes to duster and weary.

Also, accidentally deleted one pic. Trying to fix that.
