Re: Opinions Reply #15 – March 16, 2005, 12:59:55 AM Wheels and tires, yes.... Here is very hard to find a nice set of wheels for fox cars (i had 3 sets of three diferent wheels, but guess what ? i only have 3 wheels for each set.....) For now, i´m using 15´s wheels from a Ford Contour.....Not recommended.... Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #16 – March 16, 2005, 08:29:30 PM I have to go with SSX on this one. Solid raised white letter tires (like BFGoodrich Radial T/A's) definately make a big difference. :D Quote Selected

No question....wheels can make or break a car. You can have a killer paint job and that, but put the wrong wheels on the car and it will look like ass. To me, wheels are single most important item in terms of the getting "the look" that grabs attention from people. The only problem nowadays with wheels is if you want to be unique you generally have to spend some pretty big money 'cause stuff like Cobra R's (which look great on a Bird obviously) won't make you happy if you want to be unique....way too many people have them now (one of my primary reasons for ditching them) Quote Selected

For God's sake, I saw a Ford Contour the other day with some sort of Cobra's on it. A Contour! Quote Selected

Re: Opinions Reply #22 – March 21, 2005, 10:46:11 AM Definitely wasn't an SVT nor were they SVT wheels. These had cobra centercaps. Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #23 – March 21, 2005, 12:04:15 PM Didn't even know these existed.. heh. Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #24 – March 21, 2005, 08:00:52 PM I know one thing's fer sure: when I get to upgradin' the wheels on mine, I'm gonna put on some Bullit wheels, black spokes and silver or chrome rims...I agree that Cobra R's look good, but they're evewhere these days... :disappoin Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #25 – March 21, 2005, 08:05:05 PM These are the ones I wanna use, minus the Mercury logo: Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #26 – March 21, 2005, 08:16:44 PM Those look a lot like the wheels I'm gonna use when I get the 5-lug conversion done, the wheels are stock Lincoln Continental heels..., they're currently on the wife's '89 'Bird, that has terminal....problems...LOL Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #27 – March 21, 2005, 08:20:16 PM Got my inspiration from a couple different GrandMa(rqui)s I saw around town with those wheels. Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #28 – March 22, 2005, 06:02:59 AM Those are good lookin wheels, similar to the BBS wheels, but if I'm not mistaken(which is possible), I don't believe those are 5x4 1/2 bolt pattern, but the newer bolt pattern that was used on the MN12 chassis vehicles. Quote Selected
Re: Opinions Reply #29 – March 22, 2005, 08:53:00 AM They are the 5-on-4.5 pattern, but the ones fordtruckfreek has (from a Continental) are the 4.25" spacing. I want the CV/GM wheels as well... Quote Selected
