rim choice?

[Kevin1989]

Im probably getting some new rims soon, im looking at the 04 Cobras. But the major question is. Black? or Chrome?

Or any other sugestions, post pics its 4 lug keep in mind.

03-04 Cobra wheels would look cool. I also like the older Saleen style . . . americanmuscle.com and cjponyparts.com offer them.

thanks for the link... i found some 10th anniversary cobras i like, but still back to the color issue

[zlou363lx]

hmm cobras would look good. not sure if black or chrome would look better though.

[Kevin1989]

http://www.cjponyparts.com/wheel-17x9-10th-anniversary-anthracite-1979-1993/p/W377/
i think i like this
maybe some 10s in the back with nittos for 100 bucks more.

[2Kblacksleeper]

How about the Hyper chrome or whatever each brand calls it. You basically get the best of both worlds.

I'm not a black rim fan for the most part.

[87stangbbb]

i think the cobra's would look alot better than those wheels

[Kevin1989]

[sean]

go with fr500. Everyone has cobras and welds and bullets. Unless you want to look like everyone else running cobra rims. Look at the ones chad has if your going to go that route. But fr has black and chrome and other choices that will set your car off. Thats what I am going with.

[Kevin1989]

:(i 98% sure you cant get fr500s in 4 lug, or i would

[bkstang95]

Get some juice! You need it! :lol:

[Kevin1989]

i know i knowww lol i need a gear first i still have a stock one in and its killing it lol

[sean]

do a 5 lug swap and get the wheels you want.

[Kevin1989]

i want 10th annys or fr500s both the same i dont feel like 5 lugging it lol

[2Kblacksleeper]

This is the color i was thinking. I did not see them in a 4 lug though.

[djom1cincy]

I want to get the 10th annv 17x10 with the lip for the rear of my car. That is if they match up good to the stock ones. Will only have to buy 2 rims that way.

[chadomac]

here are mine. OE wheels makes them they are advertising in 5.0 now and they have a ebay store check them out came with centers lugs great price to this is the front the rears are deep dish

[sean]

Kev, you need to go see chads car before you get any. If your not going to do a 5 lug swap, which you damn sure should so you can put the fr wheels on it, his are some of the nicest I have seen.

[Kevin1989]

thoes are cobra rs arnt they?

[chadomac]

actually OE wheel are the only ones that makes this wheel they are based on a cobra r wheel but if you look they have the riviets all the way around the inside lip they are the only ones to do this. and they have a HUGE selection of fox 4 lugs just about anything you want. i was going to go 5 lug till i found these so now im 4 4 life LOL

[Kevin1989]

send me a link if you can i cant seem to find shit on them haha

[chadomac]

i guess the are getting a differnt dis for there mustang wheels so they will be avail soon again but here is a thread thats got some of what they offer

http://mustangforums.com/forum/oe-wheels-llc-124/

[5.0calypso93lx]

5 lug is the only way to go for wheels and brakes. I think if you're looking for cheap wheels, 18" anthracite staggered FR's would look best.

[Kevin1989]

alright. how much could i piece a 5 lug togetherfor?

[5.0calypso93lx]

alright. how much could i piece a 5 lug togetherfor?

Depends on which setup you want to go with.

[Kevin1989]

whats the best way to go? i havent read into them at all, i have never had an desire to do it.

[chadomac]

im telling you for what you pay for the 5 lug set up and then the wheels and tires you could buy any 4 lug wheel you wanted i was going to cahange mine over until i did the research and found out that i could stay 4 and find a awesome wheel. and there are a LOT of different ones out there. and i guess the most important question you have to ask yourself is why do i need a 5 lug set up? will 4 lug work the same for me?

[5.0calypso93lx]

I agree on those last two questions. Just happens that for me the answer was no haha.

[Ryan218]

they do make the anny rims in 4 lug now.....

[Kevin1989]

i really dont need a 5 lug if i did do it the only reason i would have is so i could get fr 500s and i dont think thats a wise choice

[bbfstanger]

i get tired of seeing everyone with the same old wheels,buy something diff.
there's a lot of rims out there .
if you like the cobra's you cant go wrong with chrome looks good with youre dark paint.

[Kevin1989]

i like the 10th anny wheels you dont see to many foxes with them

[306Power]

Couldnt agree more. Cobra R's, Bullitt's, 10th Ann. Cobras are all nice but you see them on every mustang. Go with something thats different that isnt a Ford wheel. If your good with photoshop use that to see what they would look like on your Notch.

[Kevin1989]

i havent used photoshop ever lol

[Pitbull1052]

don't do the black one's do something different I think the bronze one's would look sick on your car with that green

[Kevin1989]

bronze huh i like the rims the guy on here has he has a red notch with a 347 in it

[NC89GT]

TSW makes a ton of awesome wheels with staggered fitment but I believe most are in 5 lug only. They offer chrome, silver, black and gun metal. If I didn't already buy a set for my GT I would look into these. Have not seen many around either.

[leroy93lx]

Go to wheelstudio.com and look at their staggered fitment options. When you fill out the vehicle info part use 94-2004. They have tons of good styles! I am doing TSWs on the coupe.

[Kevin1989]

thoes are all five lugg.

[306Power]

Off topic, but did you ever figure out what your over heating and oil problems were?

[Kevin1989]

front cover gasket leak, as far as i can tell and dawson cant tell but i think this is the last week it will be insured so im going to, replace that gasket, check out the head gaskets and just check everything out and Marker1989 is going to help me with it and do his work with the wiring mess under the hood and clean it up:bigthumb

[306Power]

Good deal, get yourself an aftermarket water temp. and oil pressure gauge for the future. A lot of fox gauges were off from the factory lol.

[Kevin1989]

yea im ordering a gauge pod that will lift my Cd player up a little and 3 gauges will fit in under it, or a pillar pod but i dunno if i want that my buddy calls it ricerish

[306Power]

An A-Pillar pod is only "ricerish" if it's a stock car with aftermarket gauges.

[sean]

yea im ordering a gauge pod that will lift my Cd player up a little and 3 gauges will fit in under it, or a pillar pod but i dunno if i want that my buddy calls it ricerish

Who gives a shit what people call it. If it looks good to you do it. I love the pillar pods.

[leroy93lx]

Thats a Plus! Probably one of the best mods on any Foxbody in my opinion! Gives you better brakes and 100 times more wheels to chose from. Just my opinion though.....

[Pitbull1052]

I just converted mine about a month or so ago I guess and it was by far the easiest "major" mod I've ever done......... well worth it

[bbfstanger]

i must be backwards ,i just converted mine back to 4lug :eek:

[Kevin1989]

how much does it cost?

1. Nice pics by the Orman Building, it hasn't fallen down yet?
2. I have a SSBC 5 lug front disc set brand new...250
3. We are finishing a White coupe that is getting Anthracite Annv. wheels.
4. Pitbull just posted pics of his Hatch with 18" FR500s and they are nasty.
5. Mine with Anthracite FR500's in 17": (before I put the SN95 spindles and 03 cobra brakes on.)

What are you running for rear brakes? what size tires and wheels?

[Kevin1989]

my only thought is im going to spend 400 bucks on the 5 lug. and once i do that i have to get 5lug rims or im not driving so i would have to spend close to 1700 bucks just to get rims... and it my eyes i cant justify that. I like the 4 lug rims american muscle has, and im still looking for other types right now.

[leroy93lx]

Typically you will be able to sell your Pony wheels to offset the price of the 5 lug swap. Then you are just buying the wheels you planned to buy anyway. I think there are front and rear parts for sale on here used right now. Check it out, you will be surprised at how cheap it really is to go 5 lug.

[Pitbull1052]

I spent a little more on mine because I bought an entire rear end but to break it down

SN spindles and calipers $60

cross drilled and slotted rotors (Summit) $100

93 Cobra rear end ($300)

I sold my old rear end for like $60

I sold my old 4 lug stuff for like $40 (I think)

I spent a lot on the rims and tires I bought because I just HAD to have them but really this is the first new set of tires I've put on it since I bought it and I've had it like 4 years now so I don't feel too bad

Rims $600

Tires $600 18's arent cheap!!!!!!!


but I looked for months for a set of 5 lugs bullets, I even bought a set of anniversary cobra's they looked ok not bad but they werent the FR's I've got and that's what I had my mind set on....... I've seen a lot of bullets lately with good tires on them for $2-300 In Dayton and Indy, I'd just rock something cheaper like that until you come accross the deal you're looking for....... or do one of the package deals from American Muscle... it's really not a bad deal once you look at what you're getting. No offense to anyone I just don't like the way the 4 lugs look with exposed lug nuts just my personal preference though...........

[evil8]

What are you running for rear brakes? what size tires and wheels?

I did this a little more expensively than most. I have the SSBC complete 5 Lug swap. The kit includes the, front 5 lug discs, Moser 5 lug axles, rear discs, master cylinder, proportioning valve , brake lines, and parking brake cables. Paid a lil extra for cross drilled and Zinc Dichromate plating. The wheels are American Muscle FR500s:
17x10.5...315-35-17
17x9.....275-40-17

[Kevin1989]

how much did you pay for the whole kit evil 8

[5.0calypso93lx]

I'd start here for 5 lug:

http://home.comcast.net/%7Emjbobbitt/mustang/page6.html

[evil8]

If I remember correctly, it was around 1200 + some more for the plating and cross drilled.

[Pitbull1052]

These would look sweet on your car Kev.....

[Aweasel]

I'm wondering, i'm sure you've all heard of the on3performance co. that does those wicked cheap/awesome turbo kits for 5.0s, well they sell a 5 lug swap on ebay. They have machined rotors that are turned so that they fit on a fox spindle and axles. Ebay item 130349696422

Looks like a good kit for the money, brand new parts. Only thing I don't really know right now is, compared to a 94+ spindle setup, how different do the rotors from this kit sit, if at all. If not that seems like a pretty good deal

[Kevin1989]

i found a kit on CJpony parts that has the complete 4 lug and it comes with a set of cobra Rs for like 1200. i would ditch the cobra rims but im thinking about it if someone ever buys my hunk of shit contour
