Bought these 17 pony r wheels new about a year ago. Still in flawless Shape. Dont want to go 5 lug. Is there any nice 18" wheels out there? What would look badass on car?
Or leave as is?
Also considering powder coating gloss black and getting white letter tires.....

Keep it as is. Don't ruin a good set of 17" Pony R's! Plus, black ponies = ghetto! Also, with black ponies the car will no longer have the clean and classic Foxbody look. The originality and condition of your fox is rare Nowadays...leave it alone!

For the love of God don't paint them black. And if you do decide to get different wheels shoot me a price lol.

Lol, don't paint them. I know I know, after you look at them everyday they seem an inch too small but guess what it looks good as is and you will never be 100% satisfied

Thanks guys. The reason i was thinking black is because with white lettered tired itll look like a race car. Just something diff. But i do like the "stock" look and your right not too many out that havent been tampered with. Its crazy how many compliments i get everyday from young to older ppl.
But incase i was to just maybe get "summer" wheels what would they be? I used to have 20" cobra rs but got played out quick. Im thinkin 18" satin cobras maybe?

Did you clean the tires off first? Like absolutely no tire shine or anything on it?
