Anyone know what name/model # this guy is? Pretty sure someone on here with a dark blue or maybe black 87/88 TC had 'em and I really liked the look.

Not for the black Cougar? The ROH wheels look much better than those wheels.

Hell no!! :) Agreed I cannot think of any other wheel I'd want on that car. I also have no idea if these are 5-lug or 4-lug. I'm assuming 5 since I'm 99% sure it was a TC that they were bolted onto in the pictures I saw.
Just for the record. So I can search for them and if there's a smokin' deal snap 'em up and then try 'em out on something someday. If they were 4-lug I couldn't help but bolt 'em on the black car just to see.

You know that particular style of American Racing wheel screams "RED NECK" or "TRAILER TRASH" right? ;)

I believe those are typically referred to as American Racing Hammer wheels. They look really good on my buddy's car hauler.

WAT? I coulda sworn they were 5-lug....? Thought that was a source for 5-lug swaps, whilst also providing a disc-brake 8.8 rear.
Someone say redneck...trailer trash.....???????
Been in LOVE with these wheels ever since mom got me a Matchbox Dodge Viper when I was about 10. It had these wheels on it. Fast forward 13 years, bam $75 on CL, with twice the legal limit in tread on the tires. Off some guy's Jeep. Wheels a little beat up but great from 10 feet away. SSSSsold!!
My little brother, who knows nothing about cars but truly has some taste and a sharp mind...doesn't say much unless it's really worth saying...said "Those wheels gotta go" the instant I bolted 'em on. I'm sorry. I think the car looks incredibly bad-ass, and it's way better than the simple base hubcaps it had. Plus white letter tires, ALWAYS wanted some! Although in this case I'd prefer without I guess, kinda looks a little too busy.
Hammer. I feel like that sounds familiar. That's-a-keeper! Writing that down.
