Right now I have a set of 10 holes that I will paint black, leaving the center as is. What I realy need is the set of steel Wheels and their center caps. I will look until I get them.

The wheels come up every once in a while on ebay. You would be lucky to get them with the center caps. If get the wheels and no caps, PPI sells the escort ones 2 for $30 I think. They will fit the rear no problem, but the front you will have to modify because the center isn't tall enough. Also I was looking at some of your pics off ebay and it looks like your spare is the 14" SSP wheel from 82-84. You could probably sell it and make some $$. I don't ever see them on ebay.

I believe that FlyinTiger has a few sets of the wheels....you might want to PM him and ask if he'd sell you a set.

The Escort caps really do not look right...and I'm sure someone could probably reproduce these without too much trouble. Eastwood sells a kit to repop plastic parts, and you could probably even use that to make a mold and repop them yourself (maybe).

As for the spare tire, I found out (the hard way) that the Mustang-spec 14 wheels are not as wide as the OE SSP wheels. There's probably a 2 inch difference, but the smaller ones will fit all the way around (just makes the car not look right, and they certainly won't hold the correct 205 tire). Jim Y. and I were looking at these differences last weekend.

It may be correct, but it's pretty hard to tell from a pic. Best to measure it. I wish I had before I shipped the last four that I thought were right.

I got a spare for the CHP from him but I think he only has 2 wheels left.
Great guy to work with!

Sorry for being away for such a long time. Jarhed, check your PM's, as I could not get one to you. I did have extra wheels, but now need to hold on to the 6 that I have left. I did have a line on another set of 4, but haven't talked to the guy in a while. I will email him to see if they are still available. They were just pricey, so I never bought them.

Center caps you can use the Escort caps until you get some original SSP caps... I got some from this guy (escort caps)

No luck on the other set of 4. That's what happens when you haven't talked to the guy for 6 months.
