I just finished up my 5 lug conversion on my 88 vert. It needs to be lowered, but I like it. What do you think?

You never see them with 4 lug welds either [Roll Eyes]

This is the reason I said the rims are available for trade(since some people like them more than others, and I got such a good deal on them.)

Thanks for the compliments

Silver, if you find a place that has reasonable prices on those R caps, shoot me a PM. I need a set of 4. The smaller ones for 17x9.

Thanks!

Are those Replica wheels?

Also, the curvature looks a little different than my M179's. If they are Ford rims, are they the original R58's or the new style 50's?
