Original wheels and hubcaps

Those may work, but I think the originals may have been wider and had the hole for the valve more in the middle rather than just a wedge cut out. There was a set sold by motor city mustang last year and the pics are still on this site.

Hi Joe you are correct the trim rings are wider. The wheels are wide as well. The wheels 14/7 they can be a little tough to find a good set.The wide trim rings will only fit these wheels. If you put a thinner ring on the gap between the hub cap is to large. I as well like the look of the hubcaps and trim rings. I wood like to find a set of 15s from a Boss 351. Good lock. Mike

Mike,

Thanks! That is great information. The hubcaps are very easy to find, as Ford used them on a bunch of cars.

I'll keep my eyes open for the rims and wheels. However, my car came with F70x14 tires from the factory. Would that be the 14 x 7 wheel or a 14 x 6 wheel?

After some research, it appears that you can get the rings from either mustangsunlimited or specialtywheel.com. At least those rings look like the ones in the pic above.

I have a set of original equipment rims, trim rings, hubcaps & white letter T/A radials from a 73 Mach 1 if you are interested. I will confirm that the rims are 7" later tonight if needed.

Let me know

Thanks, Jay

Hi Joe.Yes if your car came the Decor Group and hubcaps and trim rings it had 14/7 wheels. Ford used the trim rings on the non chrome magnums all the way threw79.The wheels can be found on Rancheros from 1970-79. As for the hub caps ford maid in 2 sizes a shallow and a deep.You need to find a shallow set.Ford used the deep hubcaps on truck and vans. Mike

I'm considering removing the Keystone Klassic wheels I have on my '73 and going back to the style that it came with from the factory, which is the steel wheels with trim rings and dog-dish style hubcaps. That stuff was standard with the Decor Group, and I'm weird, but I like the look.

I think mine originally came with dog dishes & rings - which would explain why mine's wearing a set of really old 14" chrome nuggets instead.

I'm not a huge fan of the dog dishes, but they look nice one some cars... I would prefere the sport caps & rings instead (as the '71 I fell in love with 30+ years ago had a set of those).

Ya i like seeing the hub caps too somtimes....I use to be a big fan of the magnum 500's /american's rims ...And still think they look great.....But alot put them on....Kinda like everyone wearing the same shoes..lol...Sometimes i just like to see something a bit diffrent yet original...Only reason i left my stock slotted mags on..So many camaro freinds tried to get me to put magnum 500's on it...It was hard to resist for last 10 years...glad i stuck to my guns and kept the ones i got..lol
