No pics yet, but i traded my Pony rims for a set of '97 Cobra 17" rims (no tires) + $200. I'm running around now on a dirty old set of 10-hole rims and that combined with all the salt from the recent snow/rain is making my car look like a POS.
First I gotta convert to 5-lug. I got the Lincoln Mark 7 rotors for the front but need to order the Ford Motorsport 5-lug rear axle and drum kit for the back ($180). This is just temporary just to get the rims on.
Anybody know anyone with a discount at their local Ford Parts dealer? I could use a discount on my axles.

I could try my dad, he's a Firefighter here in Stoneham so he know's everybody.
Otherwise Sly would be the first to ask. He works at a Merc/Linc dealership.

I just checked on the pricing. It's going to be two days because we had to set up an account with the warehouse that ships them. I should be able to beat that

Sly, the best price on the kit that I can find is $190...that doesn't include the $25 S&H. I am hoping a local ford dealer has it listed for about the same price. The part # for the kit is M-1126-A and it's a "FMS 5-lug, 28T rear drum/axle shaft kit for Mustangs". The price does sound a bit cheap, but it's right. Under $200 for a pair of brand new axles and drums
I don't need them yet...but i will in about a month or so. Let me know what you can do for pricing

Well, here are the fronts installed. Now time to do the rear 5-lug conversion PS....clear corners for my car...or no? That amber does look a bit out of place

I say keep 'em. Don't see to many "Euro" Mustangs for a good reason

I say keep them it gives just that little extra that everyone else is getting rid of.

Those are sweet new rims. A definite improvement over the stock ones.

I'm definitely into the new rims. Even more so when I get to see the 10 hole ones at the same time

I knew a guy a while back who was selling a set of four '96 Cobra rims (identical to those) from Reading. He was selling them really cheap. I was going to buy them, but was holding out for some Cobra R style ones and I didn't think they'd look all that great on a red car. They look great on your ride, though.
