OK.. here is my delimma. Im going back to school, and have other projects for my stang to do a 5 lug swap right now (detail engine a bit - do a porno red to black interior swap) SO for the rims, i have ponys on there now, i actually have 2 spare so i have 6 pony rims.. do i keep the "clean" look i have going now and keep the rims just add some 275 drag radials? or do i upgrade to 93 cobra rims?? here is the car normally, and with some MT slicks on turbines:

I love how AliateX's car looks like with the pony's and the fatty radials he has on there. I think yours would look good that way as well. Or you could find some 4 lug ROH's

i was thinking of those as well - since i just bought the "notch" shirt which looks just like my car, just the shirt has ROH's.. IF i do that tho ill stay 4l, and i dont think there is much of a brake upgrade for that????

Id say this...

Keep the ponys. Paint them silver with a nice clear coat, get some nice wide DRs out back, and some wheel spacers. Would look aggressive and clean!

I love your car, bro. I think the ponies look great on it, but if youre looking for a change, I'd say leave the ponies on it, polish the lip and charcoal/black out the centre. Similar to...uhh....forget the name, the other canadian up here from Winnipeg with the Red Turbo GT?...anyways...looks slick!

i was definatly thinking the wide DR's but im a little sketchy on the spacers - i just remember joe breaking his studs off haha. Although i dont have that kinda power i still worry - also im going to be lowering it, i have some ebiach lowering springs to put on that are sitting in the garage. yes i would do a fresh coat of silver w/ clear so they look brand new!

i was thinking about that too - since i have 2 spare pony rims in the back i was going to "expirment" with paint - either the polished lip look, all black, or gunmetal. but IMO i think that the rims are too small to do the polished look to the lip what do u think? ps. thanks for the compliments! your car is pretty bad @$$ as well!!




i want it to still look "clean".. I love how 04sleeper's car is just so clean looking with mostly stock exterior yet i drool over it. i want my car to have as close to that effect as possible. just clean, nice, crusing machine if that makes any sence

255/50R16 .... I dont think they're too small, on the dudes car I'm thinking of I thought it looked sweet, but I also think your car is gorgeous as is. I dont think you can really lose either way

nah. I cant think of the name at all, but hes got a Red GT with a single turbo, the charcoal/polished ponies, he lives in canada (winnipeg), and I think he has a Ford Ranger for a daily or something of the sort. Dman is a couple provinces over.
