i figured i would tell about these, i mean, i figure their are alot of peopleon here who drift or clame to drift, and i figured some people tend to damage wheels alot would like to know about some decent sized/offset wheels for cheap but anyway here they are,...not the best looking wheels though but 17x9+25 for 95 smackaroos apeice isnt bad, plus i think they are aluminum, so probably not terribly heavy CLICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rolleyes:

Well I like them...track wheels dont need to be pretty, theyre supposed to be functional. Maybe not the perfect wheel for all you offset nutswingers, but it serves its purpose, especially at that price.

not bad, but for 5 lug folks mustang GT are cheaper and just about as wide.

I found these ones on ebay. Theyre not the best looking either, and theyre probably heavy, but 17x9 +18 4 Lug. I'm not gettin em, but the size is pretty nice.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2470505650&category=43957

yeah sucks cause between thunderbirds and mustangs we have like 12 wheels laying around my house, most of them mounted, that would make great spares for me, but they are the wrong lug. POOOOO

Andrave, Ford vehicles like Mustangs use a 4x4.5 which s the same as ours. GM vehicles, however, do not.

actually i think Ford's 4 luggers are 4x4.25 while the 5 luggers are 5x4.5 (5x114.3)

someone on this board tried out the 4 lug Mustang replicas and didnt fit...

That is correct. Ford 4-lugs do not fit Nissan 4-lug.

Ford 5-lug DO fit.

YES that is correct. ford five lug fit s14 SE's or Z's or anything else with 5x114.3. But my brother's mustang wheels (4 lug) DO NOT fit.

Everyone else said it already, I know, but I wanted to say it too. I'm just cool like that.

i agree 110% b/c i tried on 8-10 sets of mustang and other ford 4 lug wheels while i was at a friends house...none of the 4 lugs fit at all

you know, those MB Motorsports wheels are almost as expensive as fn01rc's just a thought.
