In early 70s I had a Corvair Spyder which had the wire caps. I had 8" Rally wheels on the Corvette and found that the wire centers could be fit inside of the 8" rally rings. I then put on Corvette spinners which looked the same as the Corvair spinners except that the lettering on the Corvair spinners said Chevrolet. I think it looked pretty good and I ran them for years. Got a lot of puzzled looks and questions too.

I had to raise the rear to run 8" rallys and TAs, it looks like you had to also..

The picture is priceless. Towing in style, super stock Plymouth to beat down the strip. Can't think of a better combination. That should be framed, 18 x 24 in the man cave.
A guy I knew back in the '70s had a green '71 or '72 Chevelle. 350 engine, four-speed, bench seat. A somewhat unusual car. He was running chrome reverse wheels, with what he said were called "mini-mags" in the center. I've done some web searching, e-bay, etc, a few times, trying to find even a photo of these mini-mags, but have always come up empty.
Does anybody remember these? It was a cool look, and I've never seen another set anywhere. I'd be happy just to even see a photo of them today.
Pretty cool site for anyone looking for classic wheels from "back in the day"... http://www.akhwheels.com/

After digging for a while I finally found an old Polaroid picture of the 71 Ranchero with ET Wire X wheels. I blacked out the centers myself. The only Ford I ever owned and kept it for 26 years.

The first new car I ever owned was a '74 GT. 351C HO and it got terrible gas mileage... at the worst possible time! But it could haul the mail!
Owned it for 15 years and traded it for a '73 Corvette Convertible that I still have.
Was that picture taken behind Madison Central High School?
No..............it was in the parking lot of Garrard County High school in Lancaster where I grew up. The photo is looking across the high school football field at the elementary school.
Two old photos........
