i say second ones for sure. what size are you getting them? chrome 17" would look great! but the first ones are nice just look so cheap to me, like a replacement rim, if you see what im saying some that a chick would but on her car to replace the one she ruined when she hit the crib at 35 with three wheels.

I dont know. Im really liking the way the first look. Thats what Im going for anyway. Its gonna be really tough. Im going with 17" polished aluminum. I got some thinking to do.

EDIT: The first ones(to me) fill out the space better. Im not sure. this is really tough.

I found out that American Racing does not in fact make them for our cars. They wont even custom make them. Those lying s. Well back to square one. Im getting the Cobra Rs I have always wanted. Might even go 5 lug. Anyone got an itemized list of stuff needed for the 5 lug conversion?

did you ask for rims that would fit a cougar?

or did you ask for rims for a mustang?

not too many companies keep info on our cars as far as bolt patterns go. i would say try asking for the bolt pattern and then for the mustang.

 it doesnt  hurt to ask, evn for a second time

I asked specifically for rims for an 84 mustang. They said they had one set, 15x7 and all of the others they carry have the wrong offset. So I said **** it. Im getting Cobra Rs.

They had the right bolt pattern, but offset was wrong. Im going chrome, it will accent all of the chrome on my car, Im just going all out, no screwing around anymore. Exhaust is going on now. Super 40s or Delta Flow 40s?
