20 inch steelie question

So I am on the hunt for the allusive 20 inch steel spare dodge wheels. I have seen a few people on this forum that have installed them on lowered dents and I love the look and the budget price. I have sourced every used wheel shop and junk yard in a 20 mile radios with no luck. Does anyone have any leads on these wheels?
Also, I have found pictures of these wheels with a small "moon" hubcap. Do they easily attach to these wheels or will it have to be modified.

"elusive"... sorry, I couldn't resist.


I'd be wondering how much they'd be from a non-dealer seller. Got a PN?

spelling was never my forte!

I called the dealership and they said they are a 500.00 special order. I didn't get a PN

A few locale shops have said they can track them down so I will give them a few weeks. I like my blue oval forum but if I have to go to the other side I will!

it's called not paying a premium for the luxury of having better tire size choices. 15's are limited now, 17's and up are not as much.
Personally I would do the same to get away from the stock 15's if the price was right. Paying 200~ per rim for aftermarket may not make sense for everyone and their wallet.
Seriously though it's just rims, it isn't like you're sticking a 350 in a ford. God forbid you run a tranny gm and ford designed together.

I agree, it would be nice to run some 20's without having to pay an arm and a leg for wheels...
I really like the looks of this truck running 20" dodge spares

I just picked up 3 from junk yard in spokane and found 1 on craigslist for my 78. Just have to clean them up and get them painted. a few weeks of searching on craigslist i found 3 but would have had to drive all over 2 states to get. good luck in your search.

Little confussed? Aren't late model bolt patterns 5x 4.5" ? Is that dent side been converted to crown vic bolt pattern? Rear axles changed out?

I thought dent side has 5 1/2" bolt pattern?

This would be an AMC! I had an eagle, and dang it was a mismatch of all three! AMC Engine, Chrysler Transmission, GM alternator and steering column, Ford Distributor, and who knows what else!

Nice score, which yard did you get them from, Spaldings?...If you don't mind me asking, how much did they run you per wheel?
