Paula & Myself again would like to say thank you all for your kind comments and we truly appreciate our Paint & Body Shop Owner also. He has really brought out our memories of the first Cougar that we owned back in 1985. Thanks folks :) :poke:

gorgeous, love the factory caps. i could never imagine parting with mine. in a sea of aftermarket wheels the factory had it pretty  good. the lower profile tires however, im not a fan of wheel opening gaps, are they the factory size? maybe its just the camera angle

stock rims with stock wheel covers. I'd bet stock sized tires, or close to.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Fella's, Those tires are size 14's and were put on back in "04" thru a previous owner. And yes our stock rims wheel covers are from the factory also !!! ;)
