Guys,
I recently came across a set of wheels with what I am told is ford stud pattern as per the following two photos:



The centre was manufactured as a separate piece and welded into a steel hoop.

I am not a Ford person so would appreciate any info on what these might be off; whether they were ever factory fit or dealer fit option or just aftermarket; are they likely to be of any significant value?

Thanks

Thanks Paul.

I agree they are almost certainly the same. zooming in on your photo, you can clearly see the centre spokes are separate from the hoop.

I think I will advise the owner to put them on eBay and see how he goes.

The wheels pictured in the link above where actually restored by myself for my ZF Fairlane...which I have since sold

The wheels you have are Option 52 wheels. Judging by the ROH markings you have a set of four small hub wheels. This means they will only fit from XT up until mid 1975 model XB Fords.

I have bought 5 sets of these over the years and then sold them after sometimes restoring them

The cheapest set I bought was $80 (for four) and the most expensive was around $220 (but they had the correct dates i was after...so i paid the premium)

In their curent state i would not imagine getting more than $130-$150max for them......they will require blasting and a light polish on the outer lip to get them looking period correct

Thanks GCG for the additional info.

For my education, were they available either painted or unpainted finish? and if painted, what colour(s)? The ones in the photobucket link appear to be silver

For the HK T G era Holdens, many Holden dealers gave people the option of having Aunger Hustler wheels fitted, especially to Monaros. They are a similar wheel with 5 spokes (but the spokes are a bit more rounded than than these Ford ones- they don't have the defined line down the centre of each spoke) Also, rather than being 2 piece, they are all alloy and they were available with black spokes or unpainted natural finish - looked silver)
