Get some from AFS Wheels on E-bay. I see them for 84-87's all the time for under $500, even less if you want 9.5's in the rear instead of 11's.

.......but I had to have the 11's

wheels would be nice but.....

True wheels would be nice, but want to do a few other things first....

Headers (already have catback)
New springs (a little stiffer than the stock Sport ones)
New intake manifold (edelbrock ???? )
New gears (3.42 or 3.55)

Not too unhappy with the wheels...but with the overall appearance basically off the showroom floor, kinda like leaving them for a bit Only thing I've done to it since I bought it end of last year is a new top and SFC's and wonder bar. Oh and new brake linings front and rear.


OH and sorry the link wouldn't work for awhile this morning, COMCAST apparently mucked around with my IP. Had to reboot my LINUX server to get the new one working. Came back up with a totally different IP....it's working now.

Nice car dual_88s and the stock wheels look good on it.

It's nice and sunny here but they are saying we could get some really bad storms tonight.

Yeah I know.....can only fit one car in the garage....so probably be mine....my son has an 88 IROC convertible. His clearcoat is coming off pretty bad so maybe a little damage would get it fixed

My 02 F150 and wife's 99 Expedition will have to stay out....

Been thinking about coming out to the NTTGA meet and meeting some folks. I already know Vern...he recommended me for hiring where we work....over 10 years ago....

Just one of those things that I haven't gotten around to. I like to referee soccer games on Saturdays so that kinda prevents me from breaking out that way....

A lot of us hang out at Hooters after the meeting, so maybe you could stop by sometime.
