Title: Cheapest 17" wheel for 4 lug?
Post by: Soul on September 04, 2012, 04:15:22 PM
What is the CHEAPEST 17" 4 lug wheel I can get for my tc? I saw some 17 x 9 for 114 with free shipping. I don't even care what they look like really. Curious if you guys had a site with good deals.

Torn between the black and these. Its a blue tc and I think these would look better.

Blue TC, I think the Anthracite would definetly look better!
For inspiration, here's my dads T-bird on 10th anniversary wheels (though original Cobra wheels in the back)

The 10th Anniversary is also available in Silver and chrome.  Depending on the hue of blue, the silver might look better, giving it just that little extra pop.

If you have a picture of your car and post it, I can photo shop the wheels onto your car to see how it looks.

Sadly these are the only 2 I have. Rest were on my old cell phone. I appreciate the help and that red bird looks great, been thinking of ditching the door trim also and that bird looks good without it. Car will be resprayed soon and thinking of going a flat blue, or back to orig color with silver strips.

That bottom pic is when I bought it, was 2nd owner and a father son had it as a project. Just had the interior redone and everything was in boxes. Was fun to put back together, all the parts were there but no screws or bolts were :S

FirstBird, would you mind mocking up the same pic with the silver centers instead of the anthracite?  Also maybe the FR500s?
