Need opinion on wheels for my 93?

Just wanted to get some feedback on what I was thinking. I always loved the look of stock Pony rims, and when I heard of Mavromont Pony "R" 17 stock ponies I am debating to get them. My ? is... do you like the 16" wheels on my 93 vert or do you think the 17" Pony's would look better. Thanks for any input.

Nice clean Fox!!

I like it the way it is....clean and the wheels look good. The others although bigger would be stock looking which is a good look but it all depends what YOU want in looks. I think the car would look great either way though....

I like pony rims but I think the rims you have now look better and fit the car well

Is it 4 lug or have you done a 5 lug conversion?

if 4 get a 4 wheel disc brake conversion with 5 lug and put 2003 cobra rims, they look awesome on the foxes.

I think the 2003 Cobras would look awesome! I'm planning on buying some chrome '95 Cobras this spring.

I guess also what I'm trying to say is. Do you think the car would have a better stance w/ the 17's or does the inch really not matter that much?

I'm think 17's would look alot better than 16's! I'm hoping on 17's this spring but I have yet to make up my mind on the size!

I would go with the pony rims as well.

I actually looked into getting the ones you're talking about because I wanted to do the 5-lug conversion but as far as I know Mavromount still isn't selling them... that's why I went ahead and bought four new 16 inch ponys and axed the five-lug conversion.

You can't go wrong with Cobras. I have them in Gunmetal. I think you'll be happy. 17" is nice, just go a little more narrow in the front. Rubbing is a pain in the ***, especially at 1/4 turn like on mine. 17x9 and 17x8 staggered is probably what I'd do.

I like the wheels on your Mustang. However, if asked to change, I would add 1993 Cobra wheels.
