Who else has wheels for a car they don't own?

I have a set of 5x100 14x7 wheels from a mid-'90s Celica and a full leather interior for a first-gen Neon.

The Celica went to Jthwaite about 5 years ago and I sold my last Neon in 2006.

Both could be had for the low low price of please come get these out of my basement.

It took over two years to find a Dajiban (and a 2000+ mile Fly and Drive) suitable for these Anacondas I bought from Chandler.

But now I think I have really messed up.

I am pretty sure I have NEVER owned anything with a 5 on 4 3/4 lug pattern...

I have a set of not-great refinished TE37s (yes, genuine ones) in SW20 MR2 fit.

Haven't owned an MR2 for a while and don't even own another car with the same PCD.

I have some rare 15x6.5 +34 4x114.3 Sprint-Hart CP-Fs that I imported from Malaysia, spent time stripping and refinishing and then sold the car I had them on. I've had them in my basement for 10+ years now and never owned another car in 4x114.3

I've got some of these wheels also, I'm working on getting them mounted to a car I'm building.   If you have any detailed pics or information of the mounting hub and spinner used I would really appreciate it.

Pin drive wheels do not bolt on anything. They need the right diameter hub to hold the wheel against the pins.  
    I think the hub sizes are originally something like a Rudge 48 ( check to ensure before using).  I bored the hubs out to a Rudge  54.   Then found some aluminum 3 eared knock offs and machined them to accept the Rudge 54 threads.   
     Adapting them to anything is going to be a fair bit of machine work.  And creative parts location.  
      Since they are Magnesium you will carefully need to zyglo them to ensure they are crack and corrosion free before even starting.   Magnesium cannot be safely repaired easily.   The Navy simply discards any wheels which do not pass zyglo inspection.  
  Then use extreme care doing the machine work.  The shavings are extremely easy to ignite and once on fire nearly impossible to extinguish.  

I had a pair of NIB Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels, for six lug GM. These were replaced by the nearly identical Classic III, but the center caps aren't the same.  They were given to me to sell on the auction site, one went quickly, the other has been listed for months. 
I have a six lug GMT 400, but I'm definitely not using this one wheel.

I have a set of wheels from a Legends car.  1 might be bent, but the BFGs on it are in decent shape.  Probably too old to do anything but burnouts, but whatever.  

I have a set of Lincoln Mark VII BBS basket weaves waiting for...something.

I also have parts for cars I've never owned, and probably never will. But I'll find someone who wants them some day!

Took almost all of mine to the scrap yard, made close to 200 bucks for all that aluminum.  Only 2 remaining, porsche 4 bolt phone dials, from a 79 924.  Hanging on the garage wall outside.  One is a hose reel, the other one was too but now something made a nest an lives in there.

I have a set of 70's Shelby aluminum wheels that my sister's boyfriend had special ordered with Volvo's 5x4.25" bolt pattern that she mounted on a Volvo 1800ES.

They were 15x7" with 0" offset and 4" backspacing. They should have had 1" of positive? offset and stuck out too far and rubbed all of the time. I traded her the stock wheels from my Volvo 164 sedan which had one coil cut off (with a hacksaw) from the front springs and mounted Michelin XVS 185-15 tires stretched over them.

The fronts fit fine but I had to install Monroe air shocks to lift the back up 2" which gave it a 3" rake.  I rolled the rear fenders by cutting through the lip every inch or so with a hacksaw and beat the lip with a big hammer and before I pinched off the lip, I spread Dynaglass fiberglass reinforced bondo in the gap to kind of seal them off. To top it all off, I bolted a second spare aluminum Big bumper onto the bottom of the current one to make an airdam. It was fun. I no longer own any cars with that bolt pattern.

Maybe I should build some stools out of them.

The bumpers looked similar to this photo

I actually need to work on clearing mine out, I have:

1 set of really skinny 13" wheels that were on my Be-1 when I imported it, I think the tires are a 155 or 165 width. They're 4x100, so the only thing they *might* fit would be my Miata, but I doubt they'd clear the brakes, although it would be hilarious to put tires that narrow on a supercharged Miata.

1 set of 14" generic aftermarket spoked wheels that were on a 2000 Escort. Used them for a while on that same Miata years ago when I was using it to commute in the summer so I didn't wear out the summer tires. I painted them blue, so their already small market is even smaller.

1 set of Pontiac Vibe wheels, technically they aren't mine, since they came off my sister's car, but she's using the wheels from my second 9-2x that I no longer have, since they had almost new tires when I scrapped that car. The Vibe wheels are all corroded and at least 2 are leaking, and the tires are awful (my mom essentially has my sister's car's twin, so she took one or two wheels when hers were leaking). Should probably just list them for free and get rid of them or something.

Thank you Frenchyd.   I work in aviation so the zyglow and other magnesium qualities are very familiar.  I've tried to DM you but I'm not able to because I'm new to the board.   The rudge information is a helpful rabbit hole I'll go down. 

I've been trying to find what Troutman did originally for hubs, about 1/2 these wheels were bolted on in period photos and the other 1/2 were pin drive.    The vintage racers seem to machine the wheels upto 2 5/8' and use Halibrand spinners but I'm not interested in facing the wheel as significantly as they do.

Not that you need to be enabled, but 13" wheels will fit an early 1.6L NA6 Miata without issues.  I once ran a set of 13" steelies from a Tercel on my car and it was hilarious fun.  I highly recommend it for the laughs alone.
