    Yes I'm interested in them. They have a misfit quality to them. I need a 2" backspace though,to fit the A. BTW are they 15"? Thanks Sparkles:D
     
  9. I think they are 14"........ I'll check for sure tomorrow....... I only have 2.... if you can use em.... I'll hook you up bro!!!!
     
  10. Hey Sparkles.... I'm at work now and measured the wheels....... I was wrong..... they ARE 15"s...... 4 1/4 backspace........I believe these are Lincoln wheels........lemme know if you still want em...... I only got 2!!!
     
  11. They are optional wheels for the Mid 70's Mk IV Lincolns and The big T bird of the same era. They have a turbine cap that fits in the middle. Check the bolt circle this may be 5.5 inch circle not 4.5. Stu
     
  12. Never mind DUH! If they fit Dodge then the must be later wheels with 4.5 inch..... As you were. I'll just go back to my glue sniffing....:rolleyes:

    Small dodge pattern is 5 x 4 1/4" or 5 x 4" (depending on who you ask.) :)

    Hmmm... same wheels?

    (they're not, but it might give you a little idea what they'd look like on a rod)
