I picked up a bunch of parts this weekend, the guy said it all came off a '57 lowlight ghia. But I've never seen some of these rims, and they're all different!

Can anyone tell me what these rims are made for?

Looks like you have two stock smoothies (#2 and #4) a bus wheel, possibly T3 if there are nubs for a hub cap instead of clips (#3) and a widened '67 wheel (#1)

Agreed on #2 & #4.

#3 looks like a 61-early 64 Type 3 wheel since there are no hub cap clip holes.

Thanks for your replies, Greg and Ev.

But what about the 'handle' on #4? #2 has the holes for it as well. Never seen those handles before??
