I know this is not in the visual section but,please help me decide on a set of wheels. I like the american racing torq thrust 2 17x8 all the way around or any of the welds rodlites,draglites or prostars,If i do welds im gonna go with 15x5 in the front and 15x8 in the rear.Please show me some pictures of you cars with any of these or give me some ideas,this is bothering me b/c i cant figure out what I really want.

I like the torque thrusts. the draglites are too common on the fox.

I recommend 15inch Welds. For one it allows you to put a nice fat drag radial on them for some serious traction. Those 18's look like crap. They look like UFO's on the car.. I know you aint gettin shit for traction with those. I have Cobra 17's on my car and with kick-ass Dunlops and they suck. 1st 2nd and the first part of third are useless unless I roll into it. Thats why you are gettin rid of them right?

American racing makes a bad ass set called the Hopster that look nice on the early fox cars. They are in alot of the ford mags. Check them out!

Iownastang · August 11th, 2007, 01:15 AM

I'll take a look at them.

tording92lxnotch · August 11th, 2007, 06:08 AM

The draglites are so common because they look incredible and are very very very light. I went with a set of 15 x 8 in the rear with a 275 tire and some 15 x 3.5's in the front with a 165 size tired and I picked up 5 mph in the 1/4 mile just from those because of the reduction in weight. I love the way they look and they drive like stock even with the skinnies in the front. Might not want to follow so close and be careful in the rain but I have had them for a while now and have had 0 problems with this setup. I will post up some pics when I get home today.

Iownastang · August 12th, 2007, 09:17 PM

Are those weld wheels? Do you drive them everyday, and if so, how do they hold up to the rigors of driving on the street?

Iownastang · August 16th, 2007, 10:32 PM
