mirada rims

[69` c barge]

Hi, Any chance anyone might know where I can find a set of 5 spoke
mirada rims for sale or can point me in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks....

On a slab C,the other Mirada wheels look much better.....
Especially when they are polished to an inch of their death....

I disagree, I hate Mirada wheels on C's. The owner of my 71' before me had these wheels on there and I disliked them plenty.......

You can post that picture a 1,000 times and every time I see it I still say something don't look right. :laughing7:

I looked at yours and I looked at Lea's. Couldn't put my finger on why they looked better on one car and not the other. Figured it out. On a C, those wheels need whitewalls with them.

I like these wheels better on them, this is on one of my 82 Miradas back in 97. Anyone know where this car is?

One of my mistakes, I need this car back.

Have you checked Moparts or E-bay? Sets of four or single wheels show up frequently and not for a kings ransom either.......

I don't like'em on either car Stan........ but in this case its a matter of taste and not right or wrong.

Indeed wheels are such a personal taste.
From the factory either Mirada wheel did not come polished.
I polished mine to match all the stainless trim on the ol NYer.

Funny thing is I used to trip over the 5 spoke ones..now they are not as easy to find.
I can check my conections for a set.
I seen them on some 5TH Ave's around here,too.
I think they would be nice with the larger spokes and dish polished,with the smaller spokes blacked out.

Yup..Right after sitting in church for almost two hours itching,scratching in the monkey suit and craving for a freakin beer!!

The ones on my blue car were polished so you could clean your teeth, much like yours as you can see in the photo. I hated them on there and the owner thought they were worth a million bucks, he wouldn't let them go with the car if I wanted them.
I currently have torque thrusts on there now but still prefer a set of C body road wheels.

I think the Miradas look great with either of the optional wheels.

Another one of my 82's with the wheels in question.

I think they look good on both vehicles.
