Is there anyone out there who actually LIKES the phone dial style wheels that came stock on base models???

I don't care for the phone dial wheels ... Get a set of vert wheels or 89+ TII wheels. They look a lot better, don't weigh that much and you should be able to get them for cheep.

I agree. Get some 89+ TII or 89+ GTUs rims. I am looking for a set to powdercoat white. They can usually be had for about $200-$300 for a set.

 

I chose the 3rd option. I don't mind them too much, but they aren't my favorite stock FC wheels.

If I had a car with them on, I'd probably end up getting a different set, but it wouldn't be my number 1 priority. They're nifty in their own special way...

 

Stickgoat,

Your avatar scares me.

Phone dial wheels have a 4 bolt pattern

 

Cliff Yablonski hates you.

Scary kitty belongs to this guy... http://www.somethingawful.com/cliff/ihateyou

You're missing out if you haven't been to his site before.

 

umm 5 lug conversion?? .... Thats why my vert rims are still sitting in my bed room

 

they make me think of crx's

 

Personally, I think they are the worst 2nd gen wheels, I can't stand them. Sorry to all the phonedialers out there.

 

I agree with Infini those have to be the ugliest rims out there for a 2nd gen the rims on a first gen even look better

 

I really dont like the phone dial rims but how about the 91 GXL rims. I have them on mine and dont think they look that bad. Just look in sig.

 

This is an awesome poll. It made me pee my pants.... Its so frickin sweet....

 

Anybody got a pic of the phone dial wheels???? Just so we know exactly what you are talking about.

Ok thanks that's what I thought. Add one to the "they are hideously ugly, like Kid Rock"

is there a site where you can buy the factory wheels? i really wanna get my hands on the 89+ TII or GTUs rims...those looks sweet

 

some day i wont have these phone dials anymore......thatll be the day

 

Was offered a set of these chromed for free. Said no. Was offered $50 to take them. Said no.
Was offered a free '95 FD if I'd take them. Said Ummmmmmmmmmmm,,............NO!!!!!!!!!!

No, no,no no no no no no no no no no no

 

I thought they were kinda cool, but I still got a new set 2 weeks after I bought the car.

You can see the before and after here:

Definate improvement. Im sure you noticed a large increase in tire grip.

 

You wouldn't believe how much better the car grips now. The *** end slide out on me a few times with the old wheels, now I have to work to get it out.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooogggggglllllllllyyy yyyyyyy......

 

I used to have those on my 87, It was fun because everybody thought it was a "wimpy" car. What they did not know was that under the hood my n/a engine is turbocharged and intercooled. Now nodbody wants to play anymore... I think I will put them back on for a few weeks to see if another Mustang fall into the trap!!! I got 18" Nakayama Schumacher Rims for the 4 bolt pattern...
