    Hmm,
      I'm guessing you want something cheap that you don't care too much about abusing??? I know Ford had a 4.5 inch bolt pattern, but I think the hole in the center might have been smaller. They would fit the back, but not be able to get over the hub in the front. Maybe you could have it machined and be good to go. Are Mopar rims that hard to find over there?

    You can also use wheels off of a late model Jeep Cherokee, Commanche truck or Wrangler. They also have a 4.5" pattern. Might give you another option besides the Ford wheels.
    Good luck on the search!!!

    Because my father had a Ford with Amazon(Volvo) wheels and we put on such wheels on my girls Mustang when we drove it in snow to a garage 100 miles away. The Volvo wheels that will fit is from 1954 to 1970 after that they changed the pattern...

    Becareful with the Ford rims.  You can't just look at the bolt pattern.  They may not have the correct backspacing. 

    For my '72 Challenger I thought that the Bullit style rims would look interesting on my car.  I need about 4"-4.5" of backspacing.  The Ford Mustang Bullit stlye rims has over 6" of back spacing, which would cause the rear tires not to spin as they would be pressed up against my leaf springs!

    You might be able to ask some tire guys at tirerack.com as they would be able to tell you what might interchange from another stock rim onto your car.  There are lots of cars with the 5 bolt pattern (Even Honda, Nissan, Infinity, and Toyota.) that may fit but you have to watch the backspacing.

    I'm not sure of the Jeep back spacing but I know I've seen some Jeep wheels that look like center lines but have 5 holes on the flat surface of the rim.  These look nice, IMO.


    Can you find a set of used Cragars/Centerlines/Keystones (if you like these styles) in your area?  I got a set of Keystones with tires for $250 in very nice shape.

    Hope you find something!
