Does anyone know the name of the ARE rims that are on some fox's? or where to find the center caps if they even sell them anymore. There the almost honeycomb looking black in the middle with polish lip? looks sorta like the GTA rims found on older TA"S? i cant find a pic on the net and my camara broken, any help?

There were many styles that all look very much alike...some were called Keystones, some were even BBS rims....it all depends. I've been on the hunt for a perfect set of 16s for a looooong time.

The 4 lugs are usually Hayashi or Riken and a few other manufacturers. The 5 lug ARE's, I am not sure of their specific name, they were used on Saleen Mustangs from 86-88 or so, myself and other usually just call them the 'Mesh' style. They pop up on ebay from time to time, and they are usually reasonably priced, and usually in need of refurbishing. The main drawback is they are only 16". which severely limits your brake choices. The centercaps are available from a couple of places, but they will co$t you. What are you looking for a set of wheels, or a couple of centercaps for wheels you already have?

Try this place:
http://www.prestigewheel.com/
The product that fits the ARE mesh wheels are called Black Plastic Gear Caps. Part # 1326. I could not get the proper picture to pop up, but that is the right part and number. They are about half the price of the actual ARE branded version, if you care, $5 vs $10 or so.

Measure your center bore opening size. If it's 2 1/4", then you might be in business with this set on ebay for $10:
