What wheels would look good on this car? Personally, I think the stock 10 holes in the pics look great. It took me 3 hours to scrub each wheel with a strong aluminum alloy cleaner. They used to have tarnish and imbedded dirt. They look nearly new again. Then again, I've had people tell me to throw some ponies on the car. In my opinion, ponies would look too bland on this car.

I've been eying some black shiny 17" bullits, but I've heard they don't look good on the red fox body. What is your opinion? If it helps, I did get my windows tinted after this pic was taken.

I do notice in the picture the right front wheel still looks tarnished. I can't believe I never caught that. Amazing what detail pictures can bring out. I will use the spare 10 hole rim (brand new rim at that) in it's place. Does anyone suggest wheels yet? I'm looking for wheels to use in case I enter in a car show. If I keep 10 holes, it can be a sleeper. I will only go through the hassle of a sn95 conversion if the wheels are really wicked.

You gotta ask? If they're going on your car, the answer is: whichever ones you like best.

Either welds or black ROH's if you're staying 4 lug. If you're going 5 lug, the choices are endless. A benefit of drag wheels that I've found is you don't have to lower the car, and they still look sick. If you're going with a 17 or 18" wheel, you definitely need to lower it for it to look right.

This is basically what your car will look like with drag lites. Not my car, just found it saved on my computer.


Oh, and this is not TECH.

Please refer to the stickies at the top of the 5oh forum to learn the differences between a Talk and a Tech thread.

Look at DMANs car. Granted its not an LX, and has the side bolding painted, but it looks mean with his wheels!

def not draglites, then you'll just look like every other mustang on the road. i honestly like the phone dials on there, but i also think ROH ZS racing wheels would look good, or some steeda ultralites. i also thinkk 93 cobras look great on LX's
