Got my wheels

January 17, 2006, 06:24:53 PM

After waiting forever, they finally came. They're goin on in the spring but just wanted to get opinions on them.

They're quick pics, I'll try to get better ones later. Here are the adapators that I got with them but I thought they were going to drill 5 lug and have the adaptors from 4-5 lug but the wheels are drilled 4 lug and it seems like they are the right pattern. It seems the adaptors are drilled to the same pattern too which is weird, so it would be kind of pointless for me to have them so I'll probably return them but after I make sure I don't need them. The adaptors fit into the wheels and I took the adaptors and put them up to the cougar lug to lug and they matched up so I probably won't need them. This is what the adaptors look like. You put them on and secure them with the normal lug nuts and then put the wheels on them and secure the wheels with other lug nuts. I told some people I'd post the adaptors, they seem like they'd be really secure so if anyone is interested they do make 4-5 lug adaptors. Their site again is:

So what do you guys think?

Too much "bling" for my taste, but nonetheless a real nice set of rims and tires that are somthing different and unique on a fox cougar.:D

too much bling for me. not big on fancy wheels on fox tbirds and cougars, tends to look out of place/tacky on them. as specially front wheel drive rims.....look more like hubcaps than rims being that they arent typically deep at all.

the adaptors look more like spacers. all they are gonna do is set the wheels out further from the center of the car.

not trying too bust your balls. hope they look sweet man, im sure they were expensive.

They might be a little too much for my taste, but I have seen much much worse. I'll tell you for sure when I see them on the car. I am curious to see another fox with 18s. The only other one I recall is that black '85 I think it was. I thought 18s looked good on it, and probably the upper limit as far as looks and almost certainly the upper limit as far as ease of fit.

What is the offset on those wheels?
They look like FWD wheels, to be honest. Make sure you test fit them for clearance, especially in the front.

You bunch of minimalists.:D ............. I agree completely.

It's nice to see something other than standard 5-spokes, though.
