Hey everyone I was wondering what everyones opinion is on rims for the fox body tbirds. Right now I have stock and I want a set of rims that will give the car a more aggressive sporty kinda look. I do like the cobra R rims but a lot of people use them. I also like the mustang pony rims. If you have pics of what your thunderbird looks like with some aftermarket rims please please please post them. I want to make an educated desicion before I buy them. Thanks (:

You've got many choices. Most Fox (79-93) Mustang wheels will fit a Fox Thunderbird/Cougar :).

Here my current wheels. I may do something with them to make them look better. Although I'm still trying to find some center caps for them.

i have been wanting to do something with wheels too. i have 16" ponys on now, i cant see where swapping to 5 lug is all that painless on these cars. easier if it didnt have disc brakes. but anyway, i am thinking about so 4lug to 5 lug adapters, which are are about 2" thick, for about $250 for a set. that way i can run the virtually unlimited supply of 2005-2013 style mustang wheels since it will be the correct offset then.
