What size are those? Look like 16". 16 x 7, 16 x 8?
I had seen that particular style before. Are those off of the front-drive Contis, like '90s or so?

Partly answering my own question, I found these 1994 Continental wheels after a bit of Googling:

http://www.justparts.com/Auto_Parts/...%7e5-WHEEL-RIM

15 x 6.5, in silver. They (and yours) look a *LOT* like 'vert wheels. The only major differenc I can see is where the mesh meets the rim. The mesh on the Conti wheels overlaps the step in the rim a bit more. I wouldn't be surprised if the center cps interchanged. Other Ford meshies are made by BBS, I imaging those are too.

Compare with my 'vert wheels:

Also, there's my FC in all it's multicolor glory.

Let me fill you in on RCFC89's wheel set-up....we'll see how close I am. Varrstoen ES 2.2's 18x9 all around, offset......umm...I'm gonna say +15.

Not all that extreme...just blue. 18x9 +0/19x10.5 +0 stagger would've been sick...

You got it bro, maybe not too extreme but did take a few hours of pulling and rolling to make it fit. Did the most drop I could with the coliovers to get this stance. Tired of hearing the haters here talking about its not to hard to fit wheels like this on the fc. Anyone can throw some wide low offset wheels on their car but to slam the body down on these takes some work with stock fenders. The 19's from varrstoen are heavy and not the quality of the 18's so the mentioned set-up wasn't an option. Here's some shots with my phone from tonight, i'm probably going to go with the t2 front lip and sideskirts.

Yence, people say the Autoshine doesn't fit up to an s4. I think they are wrong now, and I can see they are. Could you post a close up picture of your lip/ bumper. Hows the fitment and mods done to it?

all front lips are interchangeable, you just cant use the mounting holes from a s5 for a s4

@Finishline: thx

@iamxeddiex: Like Rob stated in the previous post, you only need to re-drill the holes. Fitment is ok, but the odula lip and all replica's are sculped to match the S5 bumper, so it has 2 flares where the S4 bumper has a straight line.

this is the closest pic I have:

Got my rims installed. All in all I'm really happy with the Lincoln meshies, they have pretty decent fitment, but maybe poke out a cm or two in the front. Pignose lip is next for this week. Sorry for crappy photos, pics on the hoist were cell phone, and rest were from a Sony Cypershot, awful at night photos.

the odura flares up to meet the fender, if you make that straight across you can allow more adjustment of the lip, that is why I made my lip straight across- so that it could be used on S4 or S5 bumpers. If someone really wanted to they could add some material to the ends to duplicate that look once they had it fitted
