J-body Cordoba/Mirada CMX 10-spoke alloys. Among my favorite OEM wheels. Here on a C-body Chrysler from about a decade earlier.

@Eunos_Cosmo is this better than a dingy B-van? :lol:

Geez Louise. The style, man. Not that it was taken for granted, but the Big Three lost all their style. Chrysler trying to get it back - only with the new Charger. Get back to designing automobiles.
 
What. Cordoba wheels again, this time the 5-on-5s that weren't offered for any other J-body, on an early Mustang.

I've never seen these on a non-Mopar, and the Mopars I have seen them on were of the period, like M-body Diplomats and LeBarons.

But I get it. They look like a mag wheel of the same period as the Mustang. Hell, they're actually kind of Shelby-esque. The spinners aren't original to the wheel, though.

Not bad. I can’t make it out, but those must be a 65-series on a 14” wheel(?).

It's a 15x7 wheel because that's all those ever were. I can't say anything about the tire other than it appears to have air in it. :lol:
 
Those suckas are beefy. With those side walls, I can’t recall seeing many damaged wheels in that era. I do remember many wheel covers lost due to potholes, hard cornering and thieves at all hours of the day & night though. :lol:
 
Pretty Cougar is pretty. '69 drop top on '67 Shelby 10-spokes.

Probably reproductions (come on) but they're faithful to the original and in the original diameter rather than oversized or stylized like some out there.

Cheating would be the hubs that owner used for 5-lug conversion.
I can only think of later model V6 Accord, Legend, TSX, Integra Type R?

LHS-platform cars were 5x4.5" and I'd expect other 5-lug Hondas to be metric like my previous Pilot and ZDX (5x120mm). Possibly just adapters, which would hopefully include a hub-centric collar for the rather large LHS-platform center bore.

Most likely 4th or 5th gen Prelude hubs, they shared the same platform as the Accord. The older 5 lug Hondas/Acuras were 5x114.3, aside from the trucks and vans. Accords have been built in Ohio since... forever, I think, so using Big 3 spec hubs would make sense.
