First off, what kinda car do you have? There are a few 4-lug options out there. Anything that will fit a Fox Stang with fit a Fox Thundercat.

Places I look for wheel at are:

http://www.groupawheels.com
americanmuscle.com
Just to name a few...

Converting to 5-lug is fairly easy depending on what you have and which way you choose to go.

Type in "Mustang wheels" in the E-Bay search engine and check them all out.There's actually quite a few 4 lug wheels for decent prices.I just got a set of 17x9 Cobra R wheels for my '88 Bird.Go on,what are you waiting on?

I have an 88 Bird and I choose to go the 5 lug conversion with these 17x9 Bullitts (http://"http://home.comcast.net/~leanneandjim/Tbird/TBird-7_reduced.JPG") I picked up for $350. Overall the project for me is getting a bit more expensive for me as I'm adding the 8.8 with locker and disk brakes tires rims bushings etc,etc. all at the same time.. but Just 5 lug is very reasonable.

Like $100 for the front and $100 for the back... then ANY style wheel you want.

I stayed with the 4 lug but put Mustang Turbines on and it looks like a totally different car. Cost was 70 bucks on ebay.

It all depends on your budget and what you want in wheels.
