Gene,

Yes the 94-5 have a space saver that is aluminum and painted black.

Spare....

Tom,

Thanks Tom, I didn't know that. I wonder why the R's didn't?

I'm not sure, but I think my 2 95 2-Tops have steel S/S spares, painted black.

Well, here's one, it's black and the seller says it's aluminum.

Actually he says it's steel on one line, then aluminum in the next sentence.

Good catch, I missed the "steel". I sent the seller a "ask question" to verify.

I should sell my AL wheel and tire. It can buy me another set of rear brake pads... :coolman:

The seller has responded and says this s/s rim is steel and that they would edit the auction.

Pure guess. Maybe Ford thought they'd all be removed and tossed away? I assume the aluminum is more expensive to make vs. the steel?

I just checked: My '94 has an aluminum wheel and the '95 has a steel one. You learn something every day around here.
