I don't have a picture of it but one of my former club members has a yellow 70 RR with refinished Mirada wheels. It was a very nice looking combo.

These are the wheels:



Greg moved to Dayton, OH so someone up there may have seen the car.

78 B: http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1978/78-Cordoba_0005.jpg

I unaware of an aluminum or aluminum facia wheel shared between B and F. Both had aluminum variants; w25 (F), and w23 w25 w28 (B), but were very diff animals.

Are you thinking of the steel Magnum GT and Super Coupe Wheel?

I picked up a set of these wheels today at the junkyard - were on a 78 Cordoba - I think they are funky looking - wondering how they would look on my car without buying tires for them and putting them on and then hating it - what center caps would they have had???

Code 25? Funky center caps - why do you think it says not for A36 heavy duty package? My cars are A31's - 391 suregrips - and a dana- maybe I better not.???

Aluminum Wheels are lighter, yet not as strong (weight-rated) as a steel wheel. C-bodies of the era had the same wheel restriction.

You should be able to find dome assemblies. They were used on C-body Chrysler Dodge, as well as Magnum.

The fronts are off a 79 300 Cordoba - 15X6 on 5X4.5 bolt pattern less the trim rings and center caps. They weigh 13 lbs each.

Actually A38S is correct for 78. I had a complete set in excellent condition with all the hardware for sale a few years ago. Went for over $400 from what I can remember. Centers with the red inserts and some of the attaching hardware is getting difficult to find. Wish I had kept them. They are beautiful wheels.

I had a set of those on a pick-up for years and no problems. If they can handle a c body they can handle a b-body. Nice wheels should fit right on any b-body. Might not be worth the money to complete them though. do you have all the parts?

Nice. Those became available of the later J-body Cordoba, Mirada and M LeBaron.

No I just have the wheels. The guy at the junkyard said they came in with the caps on them - apparenty someone quickly took them ? I don't know why but I bought the wheels - they are in nice shape and I like them. EVERYONE who has seen them ove here thinks they are UGLY. I'm going to try them on one of the RRs
Original center caps y be hard to find - thinking of throwing like an old cragar cap or something to cover the hub.

Had those on a 78 Magnum no problems but as you can see there are no cooling slots.
