    What's the diameter of these wheels??? Is there a lot of difference in comparison with a stock wheel?

    Do you know from which cars I can get one? I want one, I want it BAD.

    I believe the diameter is 15 inches. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

    The correct one for our cars is most commonly found in Mustang II's. I believe they were also optional in Bronco's and F150 Sport Customs, though probably 95% of them you find now days are from Mustang II's.

    You can also find them in early Fox Body Mustangs. The draw back to these is the horn is not built in to the wheel, because the Fox Body cars have the horn button on the turn signal lever. I run one of these wheels in my '72. I put a horn button on the floor beside the dimmer switch.

    So, when somebody hits you with their brights...you can give them a double whammy, huh?! :rofl2:

    I got mine at Carlisle for $35. The guy had two of them, the one I got had a Mustang logo in the center. Next to it was an identical wheel but with a Cobra emblem in the center that the guy wanted $70 for.

    I bought a grant wheel with the Ford aluminum horn. It is 13", 1" smaller than the stock one on a 72. I love it

    The Pinto also used that wheel. I have a wheel from a 78 Cruising Wagon with the correct Stallion emblem in my Stallion.
