I have searched high and low for a nice style rims. Running into walls everywhere. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a 66 6 cylinder 4 lug 14 x 7 4-4.5 bolt pattern. Any manufacturers to suggest? Can I go with 15's as long as the bolt pattern remains the same? Do i then need to go with lower size tiress i.e. 65 or 60's? Thank you. Jim

In a couple posts down. And I know Ultra has some... 'Cause i've got some on my car... If you're interested I'll sell them to you. But they're not brand new.. no curb rash, just oxidation.

hey,
check my post lower down, found a friendly poster out of Georgia that has some four luggers..I found mine at my local salvage yard...You are right , they can be hard to find, but this board has been a great deal of help....My salvage guy found mine in Oklahoma and shipped them down here to the Houston area..109 bucks for all four including shipping

Pricey, ya I think we have all been there (me too atleast). When you need the part and don't want to wait for the summer to pass to find a deal; want to get the car rolling again. BTW- I probably could have shipped my 4-lugs (five of them) out for close to that, with tires!
Glad to hear you found them, Best of Luck,

www.americaneaglewheel.comSons looked great and a center cap covered the lugs so no-one will know if she a 4 lugger or 5  I think these are the ones he ordered:

Datsun Z wheels are a good option. 240 Z slotted mags are always available on eBay..Alex

Bolt pattern for six cylinder Mustang is 4 x 4.5 (114.3mm) center to center, and for V8's is, 5 x 4.5, side of one bolt to center of other. The only exception are the Fox bodied stangs that have a 4 x 4.25 four lug.Alex
