I believe those are Cragar GTs.

I have not heard of Cragar G/T wheels before.
I just did search for some pictures and found these pictures.
The wheels that I have are different that the G/T wheels in the two pictures here.
The G/T's look like a one piece aluminum wheel.
Does anyone have any info on the Cragar G/T wheel?

Had some free time this afternoon. Sanded the rear slots w 1500 grit, then heavy rubbing compound followed by Mothers mag/aluminum polish on a foam cone, and paste wax to finish it off. Untouched front wheel on the right for contrast.

My favorite wheels of all time! You're right, only made for a couple years in the seventies, though they were repoped a few years ago, again not for long, and certainly not in 5 on 4. I think yours are T70R, the "R" for the rib on the sides of the spokes. Good luck with your search!
(I would have bought a set of the repops if i had known they were gonna stop making them so soon again!)
Still trying to figure out a rear tire size, hopefully get them mounted this month though
UGH!!
The fronts I went with 205/70R14 and am very pleased

My 69 barracuda with 5x4 centerlines
That seems to be my first choice also, just nervous about the height since the car came with tires that were 25" tall
245/60R14; 25.60 x 9.60
235/60R14; 25.10 x 9.30"

Mounted some Cooper Cobras - 215/70R14s - on a set of 14x5.5 Steel wheels and installed them on the 66 Valiant project.

You put 17 inch tires on 14 inch rims? They hold air?
Oops! You caught me. Original post corrected. That would have been a very difficult trick to pull off.

Much appreciated. They were exactly what I was looking for. Completely changed the look of the car.
Now to get the floor pans repaired so I can get the gas pedal remounted in the floor and get it running again.

Great.... It was well worth the effort to go lookin' for those wheels. I found my early 340 HP manifolds in a box beside them that I thought were gone forever..... Win win in my book.....
