:amazed:  :surprised:
I never have.  Maybe it's from something else? or a rare aftermarket thing? or maybe from a prototype?

May be Canada only. Most all s-wheels that I have seen have a t-sig cancel cam on the back but do not see one in this wheel.

The key is the Mustang horse. That is not a Pinto wheel, some model of Mustang.

The seller is in Sherbrooke, that is just outside of Montreal where I grew up.  It is possible that this came out of a limited edition Canadian-built (St-Thomas, Ontario) Pinto, but I have never seen one like it.

I am thinking like Dave.  Could this be from a Mustang II?

This wheel is out of a 1979 or 90 Mustang. I think that they also came in Fairmonts.

That is 1979 or 80. Not 90.

Must be a fairly uncommon wheel even in the Mustang.  Maybe on the plain janes?  My 1980 came with the one with a square center hub like this one:

I asked the seller if he could identify the car and year this wheel came from.

His answer was "Sorry I know it comes from a mustang but I don't know the year" 

I looked at lot's and lot's of pictures of mustangs from the 60's into the 80's on Ebay last night and couldn't find anything like it for Mustang but I did find this :

Oh yes, I know this hasn't been posted in for over 30 days, but since I started it, I can end it.  WagonNut is absolutely right.

This wheel was out of a 79 or 80 Mustang.  I was reading through a Mustang book, and found this photo.
