Default 65 wire wheel spinners

The wire wheels on my 64.5 coupe are missing the center spinners. I'm not sure if the wire wheels are even the original ones or not. I've looked at some pictures of early ones and the wire pattern seems to be straight. The pattern on my wheels has the wires crossing. Are these original wire wheel inserts and if not does it look like original Mustang spinners will fit on theese wheels? I hate to spend $25 a piece for spinners if they won't even fit. I'm attempting to link a picture.

I'll probably just try ordering 1 spinner next time I place an order and check for fit. I've seen two patterns for the center of the spinners - one blue and one red, white and blue. I think the blue one is correct for 1964.5. Can anyone confirm this?

Those wheels are not orignal and will not take the spinners you want. Those wheels have a removable wire basket that is held on by the center cap by means of a bolt. You would have to drill a hole in the center of the spinners to hold the basket and spinner on. Seems pointless. The easiest way to put spinners on there is to get a full set of spinner hubcaps. Leave the wire baskets off and pop the hubcaps on.
