Original wheels will typically be marked with a running horse or Ford logo on the center cap. If those are original wheels it has to be a from the late 70's or 80's. It's been a long time since gold honeycomb was in fashion.

Smile I vote: Not original

I don't remember them on any stock Mustang.
A couple of aftermarket makers had them.

Could possibly be an 87-88 Saleen wheel. And being that its 5 lug, it wouldn't be any Ford wheel, all (79-93) fox bodies were 4 lug except the SVO and the 93 Cobra R (and that wheel isn't either of those).

Need to establish the bolt center pattern; that will allow you to eliminate a lot of possibilities.

Those almost look like wheels off of a McClaren.

Old thread but never answered. Those look to be the 77=78 Lincoln wheels that came on the Granada/Monarch/Versalles (sic). 14's were used on the Granada sized cars, and the 15's were used on the Crown Vic sized vehicles. They were only a 2 year option.
