Can you help me in identifying these wheels?

They do look correct for 73. The caps are Mustang but the wheels also came on Maverick and Mercury vehicles. The Maverick has the same size center hole but the Mercury has a larger diameter center hole. I have a selection of them and use to decorate my garage with, lol.

If you get them before trying to remove the center caps lay them down on face and you can squirt penetrating oil into the little screw holes and let them soak. The do break off easily and if they do drill from the back side and be careful the aluminum is soft, screws are steel chrome plated I think 10-32.

Original caps have 5 screws, service caps had 3 screws. They do repo the caps and original has red background and they do make black ones as repo also but would not be correct.

They use to sell at swap meets for $10.00 each because they were taken off and wider wheels and tires installed. F-70 14 RWL Goodyear and Firestone were what came on them. The spare was a steel wheel. They are forged aluminum not just cast so are very strong. They were not polished when new just diamond high speed turned in a lathe and the slots were milled out and show cutter marks. These replaced the Magnum 500 on the option list.

The RWL Goodyears added $38.36 and the wheels were $110.92 add to the price. You could get on any model, coupe, vert, fastback or Mach 1 and even 6 cylinder.

The last set I turned down for $100 at swap meet in Charlotte last year. The lugs are long and not available new or repo unless you find NOS.

I have one of each style of wheel and hub cap on my work room roof and 4 sets of the aluminum 73 wheels.

10,106, 1973 mustangs had them as an option and with the Maverick and Mercury there are quite a few out there.

I can certainly identify them: they are round.

Thanks David.  Did some of them come in 15"?  Seems like that may have been an option but I'm still looking...
