Thanks.  I'm loving them right now, the only thing left to do is roll the rear inner wheel lip under so that I don't chew up the sidewalls of the tires.......

The mesh wheels u guys speak of are old Enkie's and American racing.  I own a 15" set of Enkie's in black and my 16" are's are being powder coated medium metallic red like my bird.

1WLD BRD...that is a sweet looking Cougar.  I really think it has the perfect '80s vibe to it with those wheels and the pinstripe.

I can't believe I've never posted my wheels in here.  They are pretty common basic old 17x9 Cobra R replicas with 245/45/17 Falken's.  I bought them because they were pretty cheap and looked 1/2 way decent.  I plan to hopefully change wheels by springtime...may go 5 lug and try some chrome Bullitts with 275's on the rear or maybe some 15's for an old school look.

I want to do the same thing and basically copy 1wldbird's Cougar except in a Medium Wengewood Blue as a second car someday.  Photoshop anyone?

I'm not feeling the trunk stripes, but the wheels look awesome. Your car really has a nice rake to it too. It looks sharp. Nice job!

I just bought a very clean 87 LX V6 w/factory 10 hole wheels,what would be a good tire combo to help fill the wheel wells better untill I get my 5lug setup together???

Leave it alone if you're going 5 lug.Why invest in replacements if you're just going to have to do it again with the 5 lug setup.Save the money and use it towards your swap.10 holes look good.

Great looking Bird.Those wheels actually look good on that gray car.My Sport had those on it when I bought it from the salvage yard.They were in great shape,just really discolored.
