Time for a change....New pics added June 25 ....

Spoke hub caps and white walls. That almost stopped me from buying my Bird. I bought it back in 1990, so I was quite a bit younger and I was actually in the market for another Mustang, I couldn't find what I was looking for and the Bird just looked like an old man's car. My Dad talked me into test driving it and as soon as I drove it and found out it had a 5.0 in it, I had to have it. Now look at it, I'm the old man, and the Bird looks better than ever!! At least in my opinoin.

I love those wheels! I am also considering them for my Tbird restoration since I really need to go to a conventional tire size and I do not feel like going to the trouble of changing everything to five lugs.

I've been looking a lot more,and still can't find any 10 inch wheels for the Sport (for the rear).These are the wheels I think I'll order in a couple of hours.

Those are knockoffs of the 10th anniv Cobra rims. The real deal rims look alot better to me for some reason. A guy here in town has those on a 2002 GT and they just look like the spokes are too big or something. I love the rims though! I had planned on putting a set on my car since no one else had them but I still got one other set up my sleve! lol

They don't have a listing for the 17x9 and 17x10 wheels (in 4 lug) with tires,so,I've asked them for their best deal with 245 40 17's up front and 275 40 17's out back.It'll be Monday before I get a response.I'll keep you guys posted.I can't wait.Right now I have a TC wheel and a turbine wheel out back (same tire height),and a ten hole and 20th ann. Cougar turbine up front....UGLY !!!!!!

If they make those in 10 inch 4 lug,that may work.Stay tuned.When they tell me a price with tires,I'll pass on the info and my decision.

Yes do it, 10th annys ftw. They'll look great if the offsets are right and whatnot.

Do you think the offset numbers stated for the wheels I want will be O.K.?

Should work ok.
The front will be pushed outwards a bit and the rear a little more in than mine.
May interfere with your quad shock if you have them,flipping them around should work if necessary.

Those should look good on your car.  I know they look good on mine, but mine are only for racing anyway, lol
