AAR Cuda magnesium Trans Am wheels?

[sxarnold]

I picked up some items for a build and purchased what I thought were Ford Boss 302 magnesium mini-lite wheels. Turns out a local Trans Am expert says they are AAR Cuda magnesium mini-lite wheels with the extra holes for mounting a lug retainer plate. Mopar only? Are there any AAR Cuda T/A restoration experts on here that can verify or may be interested in them? They are not yet delivered so no pictures. Kinda seems wrong to put them on the Ford if legit as there cannot be many sets around. Just looking for information but could be interested in selling when they are in-hand.

The magnesium Mini Lite wheels featured the spring loaded lug retainers to speed pit stops.

they were aftermarket and used by Ford, Chevy, AMC and Mopar on the SCCA circuit in that time period. hell , you could get them for BMW and other makes as well. just Google mini lite
