Kind of a bit off topic, but I did a spare set of 'flakes onto an '89 LX Stang (that's a 4 banger for you non Stang folk), and they filled out the wells nicely. Of course the tires were 225/60's, so...

Looked good too. What's even better is turbines on an Escort GT ('87). Very shagy.

Someone here has a set of LMR reproduction 93 Cobra wheels. I forget who but I wonder how they fit. If I remember they are on an 87-88 Thunderbird.

I know who you're talking about, but can't remember his name. He lives in Indiana, IIRC. Grey Thunderbird, 5.0...

I think it's"50tbrd88"..... He has the replicas in chrome on his car... I have considered these wheels in the past. Saw them on a dark blue 87 TC and they looked great.

That sounds interesting. Got any pics of that combo?

Here's an example with turbines... I saw a similar one at a service station near me (Triad, NC) a few days ago, and thought the 93 Cobra reproduction wheels look great.

I agree, they look better on there than I had imagined.

That's the car that caused me to like the 93 Cobra wheel as an option. Especially since Thunderbird center caps work in them.

In the video it says he used SC center caps?... Must be a slight difference?

Also, the 14" 8 hole wheels look sorta good. I still have this car, too. It was my first car, my first vehicle was/is a Jeep J10. Still own it too. LOL
