    Just picked up a “new to me” set of wheels from the local wrecking yard. Old school ford wheels of some sort; hell I’m not sure what they even came on during their day. Any ideas? Should look pretty nice once cleaned up and painted. 15x6.5 Hopefully I can run a 225/45r15 with no issue.

    Those are pretty cool. Polished spoke faces would look pretty cool on em

    Sweet. Looks like a pain in the ass to polish though.

    I want to say those wheels came on 80s old man sedans, such as a Gran Marquis

    Nah man, you just need little fingers. Haha

    Your definitely right. Maybe sandblast them; clear them and call it good.

    Yea those definitely look like gran marquis wheels. No wonder the polished spoke face sounded like a good idea, thats kind of how they were from the factory.
