LOL!!! Yeah I think these would look pretty hot on a Fox Stang and sure would draw a lot of attention. Too bad I already purchased a set of wheels otherwise this would have been my next choice.

4 lug 5 spoke wheels are crap imo because it doesn't look right, but with a 5 lug swap they might look good? I know the 05 gt bullits look badass on foxes!

How much do you recon the 5 lug swap would cost??
I've been wanting new wheels bad. I hate the original ones they are so hard to clean.

Did any of you bother to check the weight of those wheels? At 32lbs each thats a pretty good amount of extra weight to be adding.

Hey Phil, i believe in order for you to go to a larger wheel you will have to either change out or modify your bumper extensions in front or your front tires. Ford changed them when they went to the 16" tires.

I did a comlete swap from a 95GT for $650 from a good donor. We have an excellent salvage yard here in the Phoenix area and it wasn't tough at all which completed the 4 wheel disc, looks awesome only aftermarket item is a proportioning valve for fine adjustments

I was worried about going to a larger size wheel.
If I keep the 4 lugs do you think that I swap out for a more modern looking wheel??? I think it has 15" wheels right now.
Maybe keep the original set for fun.
Fordracing200 said they look like crap. I don't think anyone will look at the wheels and be like, "Dude, you should have gone with the 5 lugs...what a mistake". m wondering if I can save a little money and get a cooler look. I'm not too concerned about weight since I don't race it. It's just my fun car for taking the wife out on dates.
Any thoughts.

Personally, I like the wheels. I, like you, don't care for the turbine wheels that came on GT's in '87. The first thing I did when I ordered my '87 new back then was to get the dealership to agree to swap out the wheels with an LX when it got there. If you want to go to a larger wheel check on ebay or your local dealership on the cost of the extensions. One other thing, don't worry about what other people think, put the wheels on the car that you want and drive it.

Thanks Skip, I thought it would be cool to clean those turbines one last time and hang them in the wall in my garage. Or in the time being what about painting the insides black like they did on that '69 Charger for that TV show.
I thought that would be fun. Then, I would end up disliking the look of them, then I'd HAVE to order the new wheels.
"Whoops, Sorry Honey, I have to order the new wheels cause I screwed up the original ones"
