    Could they be the elusive and rare Maverick Marauder Wheels?

    Rick, You must be talking about Radmav's car. You're right, it is 5-lug. :D

    Rick ... that is a scan from a 73 sales brochure ... I have one so I knew it was a drawing ... I just never noticed it was drawn as a 4-lugger! :)

    Well folks........I have good news......No I didn't save a bunch of money by switching to Geico, but the wheels DO fit. They look better than hubcaps, but are just fairly small. They gave me a full 2 inch drop. So I guess I can pop in when someone asks how do drop their Mav/Comet..........Switch to 13's!!!! ;) Preston

    I've been looking all over for a set of those wheels for my '72 six-banger. Yes they did make a set of 14" slotted wheels for the Maverick. They appear to be quite rare as I've had no luck locating them. The ones I've found are either 5-lug or 13". Nice find Preston! Man, I'm jealous!!

    The wheels on that white Maverick appear to be aftermarket.
    Preston, do the wheels that you bought have a painted inset border-pinstripe,
    around the rim where it starts to slot?

    Seth, they appear to just be aluminum. I can't find any paint on them. Preston
