im not that much of a idiot
Looks good for what they are. I mean its player for the price, let me put it that way. Def. A old school fox guy thing.
But a ccw is still way sicker.
If i caught some for sale, id prob. Try em out sometime. Maybe.

Never been a fan of that style, but they look to be a pretty solid representation of those old wheels.

Saw that same upload today. I like em. One small complaint, the center caps stick out too far. I think they’d look much better with shorter ones. Too bad they don’t make them in five lug.
If we are giving opinions here is mine. I think they look cheap and beyond ugly. With all of the wheel choices out there why anyone would want this look is beyond me. You asked........

Yay! I can upgrade from the 13" wheels on my other project car!!!
Very cool! My dad has a 77 Capri II. What are the plans for it?

Happy they produced another 4 lug option but wouldn't be my first choice.
Funny, I was just thinking what would gold wheels look like on my Fox, seem so popular with the
import crowd now.

I think the black ones look better.
but honestly, not a fan. There were other options that could have been pursued to recreate a nice fox retro wheel.

It's mid 302/5spd swap right now. My dad keeps it buried under a mountain of junk, so progress on it is at a standstill.

These are a great representation of the late 80's Enkie wheels and in 17". One drawback is they only come in gold and black? Need a silver option as well!
I kinda agree. Silver, gray, anthracite, white? Need some other colors. Black is a classic early 80's Fox look, but gold looks kinda cheesy TBH. Never liked them on the Saleens either.
LMR should remake these wheels, in 17" with some different spoke color options.
Meh, i don't love them or hate them.
I had also seen a fox saleen with what looked like 18inch basket weaves (in gold, maybe BBS or CCW's painted). So it's not like this look was unobtainable already.
Mike, i had a set of the ARE 5 spokes.
4 meant for a saleen and 2 rears meant for a non saleen fox.
The non saleen rears had about another inch dish.
If i remember correctly, i sold them because the sn95 cobra calipers hit the spokes, by alot...

Don’t want to derail this thread, but send me a PM if you have any information on how the swap was done. Me and dad have always want to swap it and it’s hard to find any good information.
Someone ping me when they have a 17 inch, 5-lug, 9 inch wide, 10-hole with correct backspacing for a stock length Fox axles. 
Would anyone actually buy a 5-lug 17" 10-hole? I've heard people saying they would buy them for years....but somehow I doubt that.
I really must say, I can't knock LMR for doing things like this. For years i complained that nobody was making anything new or innovative for Fox bodies anymore, and here they are doing cupholder consoles, and retro wheels. I gotta hand it to them

I would buy them. The extra area on the wheel face would go to opening up the holes just enough that you could see the color of a brake caliper beneath.
