New Wheels

Post by mustang marty »

After I installed my SVO\Lincoln 4 wheel disc brake upgrade, the only wheels that I had were the stock 15"ers from my 2001. While they allowed me to take the car out and enjoy it on sunny days, it was only a temporary. The wheels just didn't look right on the car.

When looking for wheels I wanted the mesh look of the originals and I wanted them to be 16". That left me to attempt to locate some no longer produced wheels. What makes it hard is the only wheels out there were from the Saleens or the 90-92 Mark VII LSC, but locating these semi-rare wheels was difficult. After about 18 months, I finally found some from an LSC. Here they are in all their glory....

BTW... I still have the stock wheels in my garage. The auction that I posted earlier was not mine.

Thanks Guys...

I cleaned up the wheels a bit before installing them. The pic makes them look better than they actually are but they are still decent. I am planning on having them refinshed after the paint and body work are done.
