Default 78-82 Wheels

I bought a "set" of aluminum wheels.

I have 3 that are made in Mexico and one made in the USA
The one USA is just a little different.
The pic named kelsey is one of the 3.

The one named Western is the one.

The back spacing seems to be the same.
Can I use all 4 as a set?
Do I need to find another Hecho en Mexico wheel?

If you don't mind the slight difference. No problem. I've got 2 Westerns hanging on my barn wall. Someday I'll find another pair and then probably sell em as a set. Won't mix and match like your seller did. The Kelsey Hayes are the factory wheels.

Were the Western wheels GM replacement or aftermarket reproductions?
