Wheels

[Homerr]

I keep looking at this thinking that the wheels on this car are as valuable as the rest of the car.  I can't remember or find them right now, but are these rare?

Thanks, I kept thinking they were something rare like the W23 wheels.

They were made by Motor Wheel Corp, the same follks who brought you the Magnum 500.

No kidding!  For a non matching numbers car in that bad a shape, I sure hope the buyer wanted that exact car cuz he's never gonna make a dime on it.

They used to be cool! I kinda like them, if you're going for the vintage look....   

[Homerr]

They're definitely not in my top 5 wheel picks, but I'm not as offended by them as some.   

In order - on a ('70) Charger I like Rallye, Magnum 500, dog-dish/steelies, Pacer 161M style, and American 200S.

They look kind of like wheels from the 80s/90s Chrysler products

They'd look good on something like an Intrepid or an Oldsmobile.

There used to be a Motor Wheel plant here in town back in the day so I did see them on the odd ride around here but haven't in some time now.  IIRC, they were quite heavy too.

I like spyders. I would love to have a set..Not my favorite, but up there close.

My first Charger had a set of those. Looked way better than the stock hub caps. At the time I couldn't find any information at all about them. I sold the car for less than what those wheels are worth today! I did run across some a while. I got 3 but the seller couldn't find the fourth. Supposedly I can have it - if he ever finds it.

Can you comment on the weight Troy?

I have three sets of the Motor Spyder wheels. My father had them on a 71 Mercury Cougar. Used to see them a lot on Dune buggies.

[Troy]

Can you comment on the weight Troy?

They are steel with an aluminum center. I don't remember them being super light or anything. The ones I have currently are 14"x7" I believe. I could probably try to weigh one against a stock steel wheel. The only one I have without a tire on it is a 15"x8" I believe.
