73 Mustang Aluminum Wheels

I have two 14" aluminum wheels on my '73 Mach I that I will not be using. If anyone is interested I can get pics and we can discuss price/shipping.

They are rough (oxidized, etc) but I think they would look good polished up with center caps. Either respond to the thread or PM if interested.

I'm interested in them. I have a set for my car but 1 is rough and it'd be nice to have a spare.

I will grab some pics tomorrow afternoon and post them.

Here are the pictures of the two wheels.

Those aren't like my factory slotted rims. Those are the slotted rims, but my factory rims have a machined ring around the face or the rim lip that's painted black.

I guess maybe they are aftermarket then. They were on the car when I got it 20+ years ago so I figured they were original. Thanks.

Thanks for posting them. Ansen made a lot of similar wheels back then. I have a Mach 1 with those slotted rims, only they are 15 x 10's on the back

Hmmm. those wheels look familiar. That is a picture Jim Smart took of my car back in Nov. 2008 when he did an article about my car. check it out.

Wow! I just Googled 73 mustang factory slotted rims for a reference picture. I also went out to the garage and looked at mine to compare to make sure I remembered correctly.

Be careful buying used factory aluminum wheels because they use 14 inch aluminum wheels on Mavericks and Comet GT's because they have a small center hole. I know this because my sister owned a 1975 Comet GT with a V8 and it had factory aluminum wheels.

Yep - bought a set and they didn't fit. Cougars are fairly plentiful and other than the center cap they are identical.

Who else thinks Mavericks Grabbers and Comets GT's are kind of cool?

I like the 302 Grabbers. Would not mind finding one. Saw one here a while back for $5k, probably should have bought it.
