Default Need help identifying this wheel

I am working on building a low cost bonneville race car. I have been able to find a couple of wheels that are suppposedly used as spare tire rims for some of the mustangs. I have been unable to locate a part number or the year of car that came with these spare tires. I've attached a photo of the rim.

It is a 15"X4" aluminum mini spare rim. 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

Any help you can provide in identifying this rim and where I could get a couple more would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Looks like a T-Bird spare. Some convertible Mustangs, that came with 5 lugs, had them too.

Default don't do it!

Most mini-spare wheels and tires are not rated for high speed operation. i would definitely not use these for high speed ops at Bonneville. suggest you double check with the Bonneville tech people about what their requirements are for wheels and tires on the salt!

That looks strangely expensive for a spare wheel. No wonder the manufacturers are losing money!
