Here are some pics of the new wheels that I put on my little 4-banger, it will be getting a 85 turbo coupe motor with a larger turbo, ported head with large valves and a turbo cam and will be running a DFI. I changed the K-member out and put a UPR tubular with all the goodies and a manual rack, strange struts with MM caster camber plates so pretty much the entire front suspension is new. I upgraded the brakes as well. The fronts are off a 95 mustang (I think)and the rear is out of a 98 GT and I also put cobra brakes on the back as well I am debating on doing cobra brakes up front as well but that makes it more difficult for running skinny's

got the rack from summit racing if you get the rack order rack bushings since the bushings that come with it did not work but then again I replaced the k-member with a tubular

Thanks! I have the tubular k-member/a-arms/coil overs ready to go. Just looking for a nice manual rack. Waiting till my two post lift arrives before I remove the engine, tranny, rear end, and clutch. Lift should help me our a lot with the intall of the rack and k-member.

Congratulations on your excellent taste in rims. Dang, guess I'm no longer the only one in the NW with a set of Jack's 18x9s on my Fox.
