I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Aren't those just spacers? Not adapters?

They are a little blingy for shizzle, but thats what make us individuals. Its your car, so drive it and love it.

I prefer to make my car look like a race car or hot rod and not a cruiser. Those are cruiser wheels to me. Have to seethem on the car for an overall look with everything else you have done to the car.

I think I'll hold my judgement till I see 'em on his car, and while I don't like a lot of chrome, something different than Cobra R's and stuff is cool. (not that I'd mind very much a set of cobra R's on my Fox...)
I'm bettin' they'll look kick-ass

if those spacers adapt anything all i could think of is the hub. other than that all they are gonna do is put the wheels out further.

Looks like there's mixed opinions on them. Well it was warmer today so I threw one on and took some pics. I wanted to do one side but the lugs in the rear were frozen, couldnt get them to move. Well here are some shots. I needed to use the adpator because the center cap couldn't fit on with the hub.

Looks good on your car :p. May look even better if you painted the calipers and the hub part of the rotor ;) .

Give those brakes a clean up, and I'd say you have a winner. Those wheels would look horrible on my car, but with all the Chrome on your car, it actually works.

cool, they look better than i thought they would. the body kit and chrome on your car makes the wheels work. still, not my favorite look for these cars. they could use alot ore rubber arount them though, they look a little anemic under there.

Those look badass with your body kit!  Now you just need to upgrade the brake to fill in the empty space and it'll finish off the look.
