New wheels for a 1985 Mustang (4 lug wheels)?

Hi everyone. A newbie to this board, so please forgive me if I didn't see a related thread about this already.

I have the old style 4 lug x 4.25” wheels for my '85 Capri RS (just like the Mustang GT). I would like to upgrade to a more modern 5 lug wheel. What is the easiest and cheapest (hopefully one and the same) way to do this?

Second choice would be to get some 4 luggers. I like the Saleen style, and the 2003 Cobra styles from various vendors. Problem is they categorize the wheels starting with 1987, omitting my 1985 model year. Could someone confirm whether or not those 17” or 18” x 9” fit my 1985 Mustang GT (Actually, again it’s the Mercury version)?

Thanks in advance.
