I found this on an SA at a local salvage yard. but it doesn't look like the typical SA alloy to me. Was it one of the optional wheels?

figured it out, 1979 Limited. I have two, going to have to go back for the other three (had a nice full size spare). Turns out they are the rarest of the rare for US model wheels.

was the spare an OEM bridgestone if so I want to buy it from you to complete a set for a resto, don't need the rim just the tire.

I also have a couple of set of ALMEX rims I think that they are the best looking of the SA rims personally, also they are very similar to the rims that came on the 77-78 cosmos

the spare was beyond rotted. the car itself is actually almost gross to work around. under in the woods for the better part of 10 years... but it was a bridgestone. i still *think* i have it. it might not be THAT bad, but for sure not good. I can see if the other SA has its spare. Its in WAY better shape

I would be interested in any SA full sized Bridgestone spares those are the ones I use for restos since no one makes them and they are hard to find.

I don't drive one them they are for display only.
