It's a lock ring on the front, and on the video, I caught a brief glimpse of the front of the spare, with a lock ring. Here is the back side of the spare at an angle, I don't see any ridge like a WM. Also note the valve stem is right where the WM ridge would be.

Will,I spilled the beans to my wife about my plans on sailing the mustang and buying the f5... It was not too bad for the first 10 minutes then she had time to take in what I was tring to do and that s when thinks started to get dicey !!!
She started to ask silly questions like" why don't you fix the truck in the driveway or the one out back? Why do you need another truck? Fix the one you have. Then she ended it with " do what you want to do! YOUR GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT ANYWAY!!!
so... That went about the way I thought it would

The front and rear wheels are Motor Wheel "Spoksteel" brand three piece that have side rings held in place by a small lock ring. The rim design is called a Firestone "AR". Eight hand hole Motor Wheel Corporation wheels are normally associated with Chevy / GMC / REO / and Studebaker because most were hub piloted, but they did also make these Dual Cap Nut / stud piloted / ball seat style wheels. The spare is a more normal Budd style having five hand holes. It too is a side ring / lock ring design but from the back you can't tell which design. Stu

Yes. Assuming they are in good shape internally. No hidden rust damage, etc. The Chevy boys have to watch that they don't get a broken small lock ring, but as best I can tell from the parts books all "AR"s of the same size use the same part number ring. So if one gets broke you'd need to befriend a Chevy "big bolt" guy. Stu

I'm gonna guess 7.50 x 20s. They don't fill the wheel arches like 8.25 x 20s would. Agree that the seller should describe the service and care directed toward the wheels. And age of the tires. Stu
