I think I found my next set of wheels.

I like these , but I am not sure how good they'd look on a T-bird.

Then there's these.  Pretty much just like my 8 Holes, only slightly different, and a lot bigger at 17x8.


I'm not a huge fan of the riveted look aroung the edge of the second one, but they might looks better with a tire mounted to them.  They also come in Teflon, which my final paint scheme might look good with that color wheel.  So what does everyone think?

Hmm, cool pick Nate.  As a matter of fact I think I've seen those on people's T-birds before.  Didn't think the second one was for trucks, but I guess that makes sense why they didn't list it for the Mustang on tire rack.

Didn't you notice that the wheel is 6 lug, even? :P

I like the look of the first wheel...to me I has an agressive feel to it. I'm  normally not to fond of "shiny" wheels. I would love to have black bullet , Konig beyond or halibrand cobra III wheels.

As nice as any of those wheels may be, I don't see them coming in 4 lug (with the exception of the welds). If you want to stick with your 4 lug pattern, you'll find your options are very limited. But I'm sure you already know that.

I'm going 5 lug. I have a lincoln markvii axle with a trak loc a 3.27's in it
and the front calipers, as well as the wheels off a '88 LSC. I just need v8 fox mustang spindles and front rotors.:D

Yeah I'll be making the 5 lug swap when I overhaul the suspension.  Even though the pic for those second wheel is 6-lug I could have sworn that they listed a 5 lug in the Mustang spacing.  Could have gotten it confused with the other wheel though.  I really like the Konig Beyonds as well.  I would like a 5 spoke wheel, or something "solid" like the Welds or the AR, but I just don't want to go the Cobra route.  The 10th anny SVT Cobras are pretty cool however.  Also that first AR wheel, named The Hopster is a custom offset version.  The regular version, where the spokes are flat, looks much nicer.

It was probably listed with the bolt pattern for the Ranger...which is the same as 5-lug Mustangs.

Good call.  Still doesn't change the fact that I like those wheels :D .

Hell if you want a 5 spoke in a 5-lug pattern, there's only about a million choices out there...
