I vote wait until the car is done and lets see what it looks like before deciding on wheels.

go 5 lug . LMR sells the cobra fans in 5 lug these days.

I like the first set you posted more.

Maybe 17" pony r's?

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Who am I kidding anyhow. I'd settle for some ratted out POC thing right now just so it can roll.

I eventually will do the five lug conversion, but it'll come with the drivetrain conversion. So, really, about three years from now.

Though later this year I will throw some money away and get a nice set of four lug wheels.

Look local for some used 4 lugs? Pennys on the dollar and the savings can be applied to the 5 lug conversion at a later date.

Word. Ponies always sell for what you paid for them afterward.

And I could paint them the trim color too...

Now that would look damn sharp

Dave i have two roached stock ponies around here somewhere you can have if you drive down and have a beer with me..

 

[Boosted92LX]

In all honesty I think a set of either stock ponies or even 10 holes reconditioned would look great on that car. Waaaay better than the trx.. and cheap. If they are going to be swapped out later, why spend a ton of money?

Can I like this a few more times?

 

[CarMichael Angelo]

There are these.....I like them too.

Those wheels are for rump rangers..


Dave is gaaay,..Dave is gaaay

 

[Mustang5L5]

Pony wheels would look good...and cheap.


I remember when I paid $600 for a set with ragged out tires back in 1997 or so. Now you can get them for $25 a rim it seems.

No, no, no, no......Not gay! Just in a slightly unusual loving relationship with a hunk of rusty metal with t-tops.....perfectly normal.......nothing to see here.......move along......

I would love to come down and have a beer with you Allen, give me a couple months or so to get past this refinancing of the house thing and make Robby a legally running car. I'll just tell my wife i'm going out for a beer

 

[RaggedGT]

So that's why you like the V6 with single exhaust lol


You could go the CHP route with the current steelies and some dog dish caps -until the 5 lug swap that is

I know,not steelies or dog dish caps-closest I could find on google
Also-just kidding dave

 

[Davedacarpainter]

For you myopic people out there that couldn't get past the talk of the wheels in order to see my beautiful refinished "steering" wheel, I shall repost with before and after photos.

 

[stykthyn]

Good job?
