    is there any good source of 4 lug wheel manufacturers anywhere? Getting stuff together for the yellow mav and I am a firm believer that the wheels decide that attitude/character of a vehicle. So I am trying to get some ideals.
    I know....5 lug.... blah blah blah.....;)
    Thanks, John.

    Thats a good question :confused:

    Actually thinking more of street cruiser.....not bruiser.....with the six banger in it (and its going to stay in it:D )
    I like the latemodel mustang wheels...just worried about backspacing and what not......
    All I know at this point is I do not want any one to mistake it for a race car.;)

    Fox body mustangs are 4.25 and you do need 4.5 but a lot of the aftermarket wheels are dual patern like centerlines and etc. but the ofset is pretty close too so you can compare. Hey its a start.

    Most of the stock fox bodied wheels I've seen have 5" of back spacing. Way to much for our cars. I wanted to put a set of 10 hole Mustang wheels on my 71. I think they would look real good. I even bought a plate of 1 1/2" aluminum to make a set of adapters. Then I ran across the wheels that I bought off Ebay and decided to go with them instead. Then I bought the wide aluminum slots off Chandler so I sold the Ebay wheels to Wilber. I still think the 10 hole would look the best.
