Progress Thread Finally got a new truck

[BlakeusMaximus]

View attachment 603497 I texted the guy asking what size they are. I don’t think I’ve seen those before. Escort GT or thunderbird maybe? I guessing 15 or maybe 16 inch.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

These look like ROHs, right?

 

[95BlueStallion]

The top ones are F150 wheels. My buddy in high school's dad had them on his bone stock mid 90's inline six F150. The 5X5 lug pattern wont fit a Mustang, even though he is trying to sell them that way.

Second pair do look like ROH wheels. If they are the right offset, I know a guy looking for a set, lol. @Mustang5L5 , dont mind the spray paint finish.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

I’m going to go look at em this afternoon.

 

[91TwighlightGT]

These are T-bird wheels...

I would definitely check offsets and bolt patterns. T-bird 5-lugs were not the same size as the Mustang for instance.

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

F150, huh? I don’t remember seeing those. I believe you though. I’m going to look at the ROH wheels tomorrow.

Second set are ROH ZS wheels..I have a set on my 93GT.
Actually thinking about changing the color on them this year.

Missing a lug though

I tell you what, I cant find an example on Google either. But he had a white 1995 F150 with an I6 and manual transmission, 2WD. He bought it new, and I know for a fact it had those wheels. We were getting our learners permits and he would let us drive it for some crazy reason. I never liked the wheels much, and those were them. Its possible he ordered them as an option off a different vehicle, but they were on his F150. I always wished he had the chrome deeper 5 spoke design, since we were being seen it in, lol.

 

[95BlueStallion]

Ha, finally found them. They actually came on Ford conversion vans, lol.

Ha, I didnt even notice. You know, Baer makes a nice 4 lug brake kit...

Didn't those first wheels come on 1993 explorers as well?

Edit: nope, but similarly ugly

 

[deathb4dismount]

I almost nabbed a set of those ROH ZS last summer. I love those wheels, classic 90s fox body look. The only problem is the more you look at the 4 lug version the more your eyes hurt. They just don’t look right. I scored on some 17 inch ponies instead, just looking for the right tires now.

Good job man! Nice investigating. Now that I see em, all those vans had those.

I can redo those ROH wheels and they’ll look brand new. I know, my car is still 4 lug. Oh well. I’ll get to your guys level soon. I’m still rocking the ponies so I would like go with something different for now. I can get these for $150 bucks, with tires.

 

[General karthief]

I like rock'n ponys

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

I like rock'n ponys

So do I, I want a different look though.

 

[deathb4dismount]

Not knocking you for being 4 lug, still rocking them myself. Just the way the holes line up on the ROHs looks weird to me. They are a steal for $150.00. If you like them I say go for it.

 

[Noobz347]

Of the ones that you've posted, the ROHs look the best. I don't know what tires are on them but maybe you'll luck out.

Contrary to the songs that are often sung in this forum, the "4 cylinder" brakes are the atrocity they are made out to be. Replace everything though. New pads, no rotors,shoes and drums, full fluid change. Break them in correctly and theirs plenty of stopping power for street use. They do fade on any kind repeated hard driving but that takes some doing.
