    I have a chance to buy a set of original wheels off of a 69 Charger. They are 14x7- 5x4 1/2. I think they were made by American racing and are called Vectors. I have not been able to try them on my 74 Comet,but from the measurements they will fit. Thanks for your comments.

    Cragar SS's are my favorite, but a little out of my range right now. Thanks for the input.

    Thanks for the pic,Pinky, they are the same but 5 lug,that gives me a better idea of what they would look like. My Comet is light blue and I think they would look good on it. I have chrome Cragars on it now but two of them are bent, cant drive over 50mph. That is why I am looking for another set on a limited budget. I can get that set for 250.00.

    Thanks again for you time in locating the pic.
