I want to buy one as a spare.
And I dont know who or where the ones on my car were purchased.

Are / were all these wheels made by the same company ?????

If you pull a wheel, are there any manufacturer markings?


China is the enemy.

Weren't all the 15" chrome Magnum wheels, Ford wheels ??? . . . thought all the chrome magnum wheels on mopars (late 60s) were 14" . . . the original wheels on my satellite were 14" "road wheels" (i.e. magnum) but painted with trim rings. I bought set of 15" magnums that have powder coated outer that take trim rings, from Specialty wheels (back in day when they were own company - since bought out by Coker Tire) . . . I would try coker tire . . .

just to clarify the wheels on my car are aftermkt I know for sure and are 15x7
Im taking the car on an extended trip next month and want a same size tire / wheel for a spare

By the time i added shipping , Every plain steel wheel I found was near same price as the new chrome magnum . So it made it pretty much a no brainer . The new magnum is free shipping

I just put tires on the car a few weeks ago and dont remember seeing any markings other than size . BUT to be honest I didnt study them all that close either

This size has been on backorder thru pretty much everywhere for some time now . And while perusing Summits site today I decided to ck availibility.
Sure enough they had some in stock .

So, I bought one. And it should be here mid next week .

Hopefully it matches the ones on the car,,,,, , if not in the trunk it will go and remain a dedicated spare only

Hope you made out ok . . . . I actually did what you have done, when I originally bought my wheels - bought 5 (1 for spare), and same with the tires . . . haven' had to use the spare yet (knock on wood) . . .

15" chrome magnum 500 wheels are Ford, and they would not have had trim rings.

Mopar magnum wheels are painted silver and black with brushed trim rings. Think they also only came in 14"???

Pretty sure, '67 & ;68 chrome rims and spokes, no trim ring. '69 to end, silver spokes and trim rings, 14" ONLY.

I should have picked up a set of the Ford 15" wheels decades ago, just never got around to it.
