I love FR's, but I just don't think they look right on my car.

I just saw new at American Muscle 17" Pony wheels! Now that Pony R's are gone, hopefully these are a great replacement. OEM center caps will fit these too. Hopefully there will be five lug available.

Yeah, I almost ordered a set for my 92 LX - all stock. Man, I'm kind of TICKED they teased me like that. But now you can order yours. I think it will look KILLER.

I looked at my FR's for a year and I just wasn't big on them from the start. To me, they just didn't go with my car. My exterior, interior, and engine bay are now all clean and "stockish" looking so I feel the wheels go hand in hand with the rest of the car. Sorry, guys.

IF you didnt like them from the start then I guess it was inevitable. On a completely unrelated note, noticed this on my car but do you think the oversized rear wheels make the exhaust pipes look small? I am contemplating purchasing the flowmaster 3" kit to make up for it.

I thought the rear looked odd... You need to get some 275s on there, it will give the car a much more raked/staggered look. Leave the 245s on the front.

Yeah, I went with the 9" out back in case I ever want a 275 drag radial. But I can't see how anything wider will fit because the clearance is already tight.

I've got a 275 on my 17x9s, but as you know there are a lot of variables that go into the clearance or lack thereof. I've got no real clearance issues.
