    Hello all
    I'm new to the group and decided to join because I just bought my kid a '72 Comet. Powder blue, original paint, 12,300 orig. miles 200 l1 inline 6 from the vintage automobile museum of NJ. I know the car is all orig. When I took the hupcaps off there is still the paper tag on the back of the hupcap w/ a Mar. 1972 date. My question here is where can I get a 4 on 4.5 4 lug 14 inch rim for my kid for a spare tire that the car is missing. Any help is appreciated.
    Bob

    Greetings from North Florida

    Welcome to the Forum Bob. I can't wait for you to post some pics of the Comet. From your description of her she must be a real cream puff.

    You don't have your location in your profile. Where are you? If you are around Wisconsin, I've always got extra 4 lug wheels laying around.

    Welcome to the board. I'm originally from Montclair. 4 lug wheels should be pretty common. Most people change them out to the 5 lug. I'm going to be doing that to my 70 shortly. I'd suggest finding someone closer for the shipping expenses, but they might not be too bad.:Welcome:
