Im going to pick these bad boys up and paint them gold. It should look awesome!!!

also, do crown vic wheels have a lower offset?

 

I happen to own a crown vic, so I can answer this question.

through 2002 all Crown vics and other panther platform vehicles ran low offset wheels, Ford redesigned the suspension for MY 2003+ and went to a higher offset. But I'm guessing that since those wheels are 15's that they are 1997 or older since 15's won't clear the dual piston front brakes on the 1998+'s. So that should make those wheels a low-ish offset, most likely can't tell because you can't see how deep in the lug nut holes go.

 

The stepped lip crown vics have an offset of 5-6ish. The single lips of course have less offset, I forget how much though.

 

they look pretty good how they are. hopefully the offset is decent. post pics installed

 

im sanding them down right now, im going to paint them gold.

 

Here are the wheels I bought

sanding them down

and now I have primer and already wet sanded them. It was too cold to start painting, so hopefully tomorrow it would be warm enough to start painting!!!

 

Nice here was my fc with 16x8 bbs wheels form a lincoln gtc.

 

Just a small update

 

Came out pretty cleann, jus a little more lip.

 

Well thats just the first coat, we added 2 more coats and im doing the clear coat now. Also there is still tape on the rim, so the chrome should pop out

 

Finished! Just a little polish on the lip, and then im going to buy these center cap decals? and put them over the oldsmobile http://www.acromann.com/product_info...3}27{2}27{3}30

 

Weight and fitment compared to Mustang wheels?

Looking for a set of wheels to replace the Mustang wheels and R compounds that got jacked last month.

 

Im not sure about the fitment yet, but i know they are pretty damn light. It might be around 18lbs- 20lbs?

 

I have a question, the wheels are not glossy enough, after touching the painted area already, is it too late to apply more clear coat? I thought I put enough but i dont think i have. What should i do?

 

Scuff, clean and reapply!

Look nice!

 

 

Also, im not sure if im being paranoid or not but, are the wheels in the front supposed to stick out this much?



It just seems weird that it sticks out that much. The wheels are the same size as the original wheels that came with the car. Is it possible that its just the alignment is off?

 

Same size, different offset...

 

oh damn im retarded. I didnt think about it because the offset looked the same. Apparently it has a 8.9mm offset.

 

Rims look good!

 

I like how the fronts fit, good stuff right there.

 

Almost identical to vert wheels, but with better offsets. Looks good!

 

youre over at cal and ing huh bro? i cant believe ive never seen that car before. wheels look good, keep it up man, maybe i will see ya out cruising. check out alamomotoring.com
