What are u looking for Drag or show. Try www.summit.com or www.jegs.com for light race rims. your looking for a 4 lug 4 x 4 1/2 bolt circle if i remember the bolt circle size. Someone please jump in if im wrong.

10 years ago mustang sites were full of different wheels, now since time past i noticed myself there arent a lot of fox body 4 lug rims.

also if your trying to save on cash and you have salvage or junk yards close. got check them out. Some used rims and some Elbow grease pay off in the end. Plus people love wrecking mustangs so there are pleanty at my local junk yard.

Good luck

Im guessing you have the GT Turbine rims, They are ugly. I've had them, and they are a #$%& to clean!!! What do you think about the 1991 and up 5 star 16" Factory mustang Pony rims, they are 4 lug and can usually be had cheap. . Or do you have a lot of $$ into some 15" tires now??

As i said. hit the junkyard or classifieds at all the forums, you'll find some great deals.

I think the 4 lug ponies looks good on a FOX... I just took mine off to put some ten holes on... Which one do you have on your **?

What's your budget. Did you check out Weld Wheels or Centerline. My favorites for fox bodies

As i said above. http://www.summitracing.com is probably the cheapest. find the style that you want, then hit ebay or the forums.

Hit the corral forums in the link below. You'll find tons of 4 lug styles, dont waste your money on new. As I said. a little elbow grease will shine up to new any aluminum rims you find.

http://www.corral.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=276


Check these out. Tires and rims.

http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=613640

this is the style, i've had them before, and they are super light. You wouldnt believe how light they are when you pick them up

Well, as long as we're on the subject, is the 1990 HB 5-lug?
