I like to keep it looking simple, I like the sleeper look.

Better then the faded out stock pos's. they are just regular ones, they had HIDs at one point and were pretty bright but are still pretty good at night without them.
I didn't like them at first, but they are staring to grow on me..

Very nice!
Now drop that thing an inch in the front so it looks more balanced front to rear.

Car looks real clean man! The second I saw the pics with the waffle wheels I knew they were Mike's(UhOh50) wheels. Didn't know they ever made those wheels in 4lug till a year ago when I saw them on his coupe.

Yeah thanks for the rims. Did you ever have any problems with them? They don't seem to fit the hubs too good I think they need hub centric rims, but if you never had problems i think they will be fine.

naw bro never ran into problems with them.. bought the car with those rims and had them for about 2 years with no problems.. all i know is that he might have some rubbing in the front because they are wider than the 10holes..

Nice car. I agree go with some bullits or some other wheels. Those waffle wheels just aren't cutting it. Its hard to believe that 16's rub

Yeah the 16's will rub. Ford didnt correct that problem until 1991. Nice car. Still not a fan of those newer style projection head lights. I like the clear with the diamond cut on the back.
