identify wheels?
I'm sure you guys will know, any idea what these wheels are? I've got as far as "some aftermarket mag" ..?
Thanks!  They've got to look better than whats on there now. (Okay, yeah actually this is just a good excuse to post a pic of my baby, now that she's altogether and running)

I've got a set of those on my car. They are most likely "Western". I've been told that JC Whitney sold bunches. I have one of the same style on the spare that says, "Dan Gurney" in the casting on the back. None of the others have identifying names in the casting.

I think I'm gonna take the 2.0 and put it in the 72. The 2.0 has no compression in the #1 cylinder so I've got to pull it anyway to figure that out - and I've got all the other good stuff already on the 72.

yep those are Westerns.
I have two sets. One polished, one brushed. You can fit 205/50's on them. You may need to pull the rear fenders depending on the brand of tire you use. I was sporting Hoosiers...  KT

Way kool Race: 72 is one of my favorite years. My first car was a 72 and I sold it to a friend and it's still here. She post here and at the Club as /L. As a mater of fact it got the bumpers your dad sold us.
