does anyone know if any after market companies still make 5 spoke or mag wheels in a 4 in bolt pattern , I am thinking spring carlisle is my best bet if they don't make them anymore , I had keystone klassics on a 69 cuda in 1975 so I know they made them at some point
 
tire rack only shows wheels for a roadrunner and summit doesn't show any 4 in so I emailed them to see what they can get
 
ET makes a beautiful torque thrust lookalike in 5 on 4.
Not available at jegs or summit, I'll bet they aren't cheap... but they are exactly what you asked for.

Yes, I like those!

Check out the thread "new 15" wheels and tires on the Lancer" in the early A bodies forum, to see the gray version (on a GORGEOUS Lancer!).
 
If you have more money than you know what to do with and want to go with something vintage, you could also check out AKH wheels. Pricing is done through emails to them. I myself would have checked on these if they were 14 or 15 inch, but only out of morbid curiosity...

those are the exact wheels I was looking for , thanks just don't know if I can hack the almost 500 per wheel , guess I'll just have to see how the build goes
 
If I can't swing the money for the grey 5 spoke I will just get the old style aluminium slots for 150 a peice unless I run into a used set
 
Everything is relative, relative to the bank account, LOL.
Summit has an AR centerline lookalike for around $150 (if memory serves.) Outlaw 1 or2.
On the other hand, I have a buddy that had $5000 plus in wheels and tires on his demon (the new one) .
My philosophy is save until you can get what you want, rather than settle for a cheap second best.

I like the torque thrust D's that have the peak on the spoke, not curved.

but I think that disc brake calipers like the curved spokes and domed on the ridge.

I think the original torque thrust (now repoped BY AR) had straight spokes with rounded front side of the spokes. They changed the design to TTD (disc) to the curved spokes to clear corvette disc brakes, in the sixties.
The pointed spokes are T-70 I think, and the vintage ones are expensive. The T70R, with the ribs on the sides of the spokes are REALLY rare, and really expensive!
The T70R were repoped a few years ago (for about twenty minutes) and I'm sorry to say I didn't get any. They are my favorite wheel of all time.
 
American Racing Wheels. When you shop their website look for the wheels that show "custom" for the bolt pattern. Those wheels they will make in 5 x 4 (also known as 5 x 101.6).
I had the "Burnout" wheel made in a 5x4 bolt pattern.

I’d be really surprised if they were charging less than $1K for the pair.
