I posted a first generation Lightning with second generation Lightning wheels. Here's the wheels that were replaced (okay so probably not the very same wheels) on a Bullnose F-150.
I'd like to think it also has the first generation Lightning's 5.8 under the hood, but I just don't know and I suspect it does not.

60-series Land Cruiser on first generation 4Runner SR5 alloys.
Yeah. Presumably the brakes/axles are redrilled because the GM fullsizes of that period had a 5x4.75 bolt circle while the Impala SS had a 5x5, and the wheels are deep enough in the fenders that I don't imagine adapters are used.

Mazda B2600i on black Isuzu snowflakes. Black was the way to go for this truck but they'd be more visible in silver.
Edit: Derp. Looks like Toyota used this style wheel on the 80s for the first couple of years.

Hey, I love those wheels and I like those vans. I posted a Pacer with those wheels a while back.We're into the deep cuts now
Edit:
I'm just awestruck by how well those 15" aluminum Chrysler J-body (Dodge Mirada, non-LS Chrysler Cordoba) 10-spokes suit this Pacer X. The car was originally equipped with 14" wheels.
Those look like Chrysler caps, but I'm betting AMC "volcano" caps would work. If the bolt holes don't line up (I'm thinking they just might), you could probably braze some additional material onto the backside and tap them in the correct location...or even fill and re-drill the wheels.

My old Skoda Fabia VRS it’s on VW Touareg 17’s they are actually Porsche fitment (5x130) I already had the adapters. Powder-coated chrome.
Before the Touareg wheels it was on Porsche Cayenne winters also 17” I had them powder coated white.
The car was on coils, and had numerous other mods

GMC Typhoon on RPO N73 magnesium wheels optioned for C5 Corvettes. Notably, they are almost assuredly the same size (Tys are AWD and it's unlikely she's running different ratios front and rear--plus they look the same) which means they probably came from two sets as they were staggered 17/18". They appear to be 17".

Now see I never cared for them--I don't really like directional wheels unless they're mirrored for the other side of the car, and they rarely are. But that does remind me that I found a second generation Granada coupe on them to post some time back but never did. Cobra wheels are definitely better in black because they aren't so obviously directional.
Is this the most bizarre Fox to modify? Maybe a bustleback Continental holds that particular title, even if I love them.
Anyway, still on Foxes, here's an '83-6 Cougar on '91-3 Mustang GT 5-spokes.

Guess wheel, Ahem, we’ll stay on the Mustang theme. Never in my life…
Love these era Thunderbirds. Mainly because of the turbo’s manual transmission. I’d prefer the round nose though.
Not a fan of this combo, if it has to ride that high for the wheel/tyre package.

It appears to sit just about exactly like a later Cobra. If anything, it may be lower. I think the lack of skirts tricks the eye.Not a fan of this combo, if it has to ride that high for the wheel/tyre package.
