WTB 2 or 3 aluminum steel style wheels.
Rotated my tires the other day for the first time on this car and noticed that two wheels were way lighter than the others! Turns out I have 2 14x6.5 steels and 2 of the 14x6 lightweight aluminums. Looking for at least 2 more aluminum wheels so i can have a whole set. Thanks

That's pretty strange. None of your wheels are original to the car. The aluminum ones are from 1981 and I suspect the steel ones are from a 126 or something. Out of curiosity, what is your spare??? Probably a Bundt!!!!

Well, you probably should have a spare also. The steel wheel is 23 pounds, the aluminum wheel is 11 pounds. I wouldn't mix them on the same axle long-term. It will be easier and cheaper to get a 5 1/2 x 14 aluminum wheel as they are more common. I charge an arm and a leg for for the 6" wheels and only an arm for the 5 1/2" wheels, so I'm no help to you. But I provide lots of free information. If I were in your situation I would get a 6" for the car and a 5 1/2" for the spare both aluminum unless you can get someone to sell you 2 of the 6" wheels at a reasonable price. The aluminum wheels are absolutely wonderful. If you only have 2 on the car, make sure they are on the front of the car. That's where you will notice the most improvement in handling.
