Looking to change the wheels on my 1993 gt convertable, they have been there 5 years. current Pictures at www.onefast50.com. It currently has 2001 cobra brakes (5 lug) all around. Need some suggestions please.


Thanks

It's hard to suggest wheels to someone.
My first thought is always a 5 star design, rarely do i like anything else.
One the the few times i've liked other wheels is on the nice looking silver (maybe gray) four eye on this page. http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/771054-before-you-butcher-4-eye-56k-beware.html
Although they look crazy expensive.

I'd steer clear of any cobra rims, i don't hate them, but just seems like cobra wheels are now the new pony wheels, so many people have them.

Saw these on a roush at my buddies shop this morning and thought they would be good for a fox.
But have no idea if they fit.

Saleen sterns are always a favorite, but you'll be needing a fat wallet.
The replicas are ok, i just don't like the deep rears.

What kind of styling do you like/ what kind of feel do you want your car to have. I dont have any new "rims" of my own, but I was looking at wheels before i was looking at a car. I personaly prefer old school looks ( Saleen sc, Roh rims: snyper, rs, zr6 or a nice set of welds) Its all about your opinion and styling pref though.

^I like those, too. I definitely like the subdued, brushed look over blinging chrome.
