Picked these rims up off the side of the road today for FREE. They are in good condition and the tires have enough thread left till winter
I wasn't sure if they would look good at first, but now I'll admit they are hot. I only have one little sneak peak right now, I need to change the water pump and get everything running right before I can pull her outta the garage to clean her up

Yup, they were just sitting on the side of the road. They were covered in old leafs so Im assuming the owner either got rid of the stang or got a new set and just wanted to get rid of these ones. They all hold air, one has a nail in it which Im going to get fixed tomorrow since I got my new waterpump in, maybe I'll get them balanced too. None of them appear to be bent, cracked, or curbed at all.

The pony will be gone soon, I have to come up with something to cover them up

IIRC they aren't the same bolt pattern as stock, but very close. I don't know our stock pattern and Mustang pattern, but a lot of GP guys run these with no issues

This is what I did. I helped come up with some pontiac logos for a guy on 3800pro. So if you need some decals for those let me know. the guy who does it can do pretty much anything from what I know.

I'd like to get some decals...black background with an all silver arrowhead is what I want. Let me know a price and how I can get in contact him, thanks.
I'll probably have a photo shoot tonight or tomorrow. Got her all fixed up and washed her this morning, she looks great

I had 5x114.3 Wheels on my Bonneville for 3 months and they snapped 2 lugs on my front left wheel. Had I not taken them off for winter storage I would have never known until..... well, I don't know. I would either get that fitting plate or sell them and buy wheels that actually fit your car. I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. You decide.

I have been using mine for over a year and no issues. Another T-type owner had 94 cobra wheels on his with a L67 swap and raced with those wheels on it, with no issues either.

I wouldn't dare do some performance driving on non standard wheel fitment without appropriate adapters.
Definitely worth the few bucks for safety alone, let alone potential head aches.

Very nice find!! I think they look right at home on your bonnie! I'd invest in some hub-centric rings and that should help out with the bolt pattern, I wouldnt say it's a fix, but it should help (from what I've read).

Well like I said Steve-X was using mustang wheels on his T with a L67 swap that put down some good #s IIRC and he used the mustang wheels at the track. I personally would use lighter rims anyway, but hey he never broke anything that I know of. I would love to have them fit correctly but dont see an easy way to do that.
