From time to time I see where people are looking for 14" wheels that will fit on disc brakes. I have a 1980 LTD wheel, PN E0AZ-1007-B. It is a factory 14" x 6.5" wheel and it fits my Wilwood front disc brakes. I am using it for a spare. I ran across a source:

There is also a NOS one for sale on eBay

I thought I would post this for future reference.

1976-1980 Granada 14's work well.

This link shows a 14" wheel that should fit with the Wilwood brake caliper (at least according to the questions/answers listed with the item description)

Considering the fact that many Ford cars were factory equipped with front disc brakes, AND 14" wheels, there may be other wheels that will work. All 5 of my 69 & 70 Mustangs were made with  disc brake with 14" wheels, as was my 69 Fairlane Cobra, plus tens of thousands of Cougars, Maverick/Comets, Torino/Montegos, Granada/Monarchs etc. So, if using the popular Granada, or other factory disc brake setups, shouldn`t be too hard to find wheels. On my 59, I planned to use 15" wheels right from the start, so I have never tried a 14" wheel.
