Here is the pic as requested by fastcat.
It's not a good pic but you get the idea.
I should be able to get it painted next year. This years budget is going towards new ac and misc. parts after the 5.0 HO swap.

Sweet dude, check mine out.
Cool I like it. For some reason I have a thing for tue tone Tbirds ;) .
Me too. That's why I when I paint it it's staying factory colors. Most people don't like it, but I like the black on grey. Plus I figure after a while most people will have painted over their original paint with a single color therefore having the original will be original.
Looks GOOD Jason. I like the 5 lug convestion. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I'm in E'ville
How did you go about your 5-lug conversion? The waffle stars look badass on the car, stock tire size?
Looks sharp. I like the silver waffles with your combo, chrome wouldn't look is good IMO.
the wheels work well with the exterior of your car ;) thumbs up!
That's kinda what I was thinking, those wheels fit that car well!
Thanks guys. I was pleased with the look as well. I used the complete mark VII rear and I used mustang spindles and mark VII calipers and rotors up front. i got most of the info from the coolcats website and some help from guys around here. I really wanted to take my tax return and get it painted but I made myself pay off a couple of debts. I should be able to get it painted next year though.
OH, I don't know what you mean by stock tire size. The new rims were bigger than the 14's that came with the car. when I bought the rims they had bald tires on them that were on the 96 mustang they came from. they were a little too wide and rubbed my sway bar when you turned the wheel sharply (like parking or turning in a tight circle in a parking lot). I picked out some new tires that were 1.5" more narrow so that I knew they wouldn't rub. You could prob. push it closer than that but I didn't want to risk it. It gave me 3/4" more room on the inside clearance and I knew that would be enough. Not quite as much performance but I don't think I am really missing it.
I meant stock for the rims on the car. The stock size for those wheels is 225/60/16
Looks good, Im going to be the bump in the road, I dont like the rims but then again I have never liked those rims on any car.
I like them, but I wish there were a way to change that mustang logo to let's say a Bird logo. Looks really good bud.
I'm a chrome person and dont mind cleaning them every second. But I still admit those match the car quite well.
Those caps are just plastic. Sand them down, fill with bondo, sand, prime, and paint the color of the rim. Presto, no more Mustang.:D
It would be really cool to have some aluminum ones made with a bird or ford logo. I think it's sickening to put a plastic center on an aluminum rim anyways. It's the least of my worries right now though. It will be one of the final details I deal with.
