Found some rims for my 70 Cuda 440-6 and was wondering if these look correct. I know most had 15" but my car had the 14". Even have the sticker on the door jam. Do these look right?
Anyone know the correct offset?

I didn't ask because I figured I'd never find the correct codes anyway being that old. I was going to settle on the correct rim and leave it at that. I can ask though. I spoke to the original owner and he bought it for racing and never raced it and eventually sold it. He said that's why it had the 14" steels on it. Must of been cheaper then I take it. Car was built at Hamtrack, Mich.

Here's a correct '70 Motor Wheel Corp 14x6.0 wheel, I believe they were used at least thru the '73 model year. Wheel plant stamp designation on the wheel is "M". IMO - the ones you found appear correct for your Hamtramck, MI 'Cuda For the '70 model year it appears that the LA plant used a different wheel supplier for the 14x6.0 & some of the other sizes. Wheel plant stamp designation on the wheel was "T".

Once they're painted & on the car, they'll probably look more than enough like original, '70, 6X14 wheels. Paint them heavy enough to hide the numbers.

I recall your (late LA?) car & spare (Goodyear Speedway) being discussed before. Any chance to get some detailed pics of them?
