This is a very rare wheel found only on early XR7-G models. Soon after being put into service, the wheels were found to have multiple short-comings including flexing, cracking and lug seating problems. They were officially recalled and replaced with the Kelsey Hayes 5 spoke SS wheel. The original manufacturer of the XR7-G wheels was Trans American Products. The style used on the XR7-G was known as the "Rader". Only a few sets of these are known to be mounted on original xr7G models today. These wheels were also offered through multiple after market auto retailers in a 14" and 15" with a spinner type cap with a "RADER" logo in the center. Scans of original AO Smith and Ford documents provided by Royce Peterson. Check out this vintage XR7G
