Picked me up some Pony wheels for my '92

I just picked up some Pony wheels for my '92 LX coupe, have polycast on there now (why did Ford make that crap?). One of the Pony's has a bad curb mark on it and 2 center caps are missing. Anyone got a spare wheel or a center cap or 2? kennyg

What color are the rims?
Silver, Chrome or White?

If they are white, thats a rare find and finding center caps is REALLY hard.
I am trying to find center caps myself, 2 of mine are in rough shape.

photolabgirl77, The Pony's are silver and believe it or not I've already made a deal with another TMS user to purchase some center caps. If I come across some white one's I'll let you know. kennyg

Yes that is what I am going to try to do.
I have been on the lookout for a decent set of silver ones.

Thanks

Or buy a set of 17" "Pony R" wheels and get them powder coated.

Those are brand new from mu. Beggers cant be chooser's and those things are apparently hard to find, this world is based on supply and demand.

Do it, they look great on the Fox 'verts! Once upon a time I swapped a set of ponies for the 10-holes on my '89 droptop and never looked back:



For those looking for them, I suggest keeping an eye out on Craigslist also. I've bought and sold many a set of Mustang wheels there with good success.
