Title: wheels?

I agree, it can be hard to find good used ford ones, and there are not too many choices with aftermarket ones either.

I've got 4 rally wheels from a 79 ESS, and 3 stock wheels from an 80. Ernie

I just bought circle track wheels for my car. While they aren't bling bling, they are shiny! 4x4 1/4 isn't the most common pattern around, but there are some options available.

Weld Racing has Draglite and Rodlite wheels available with the proper bolt pattern in several different sizes and offsets. And they are SHINEY!!!!!!  ;D

I currently have TurboCoupe wheels on my Pinto.  The guy I got them from had a set of polished TurboCoupe wheels on his 2nd T-bird.  I bet they'd look sweet on a freshly buffed Pinto.

I also have 8 ralley wheels (which won't be going back on).  If anyone is interested...  I'll be getting rid of the TC wheels once I get my 5 lug setup on.  (Probably another 10-20 years.  :( )

  I have some Chrome American Racing rims that I think look pretty nice.  They were only like $75 a wheel, but that was a few years ago.  You can see them in my gallery.  (The picture is named Julia 2, under Ford_Pinto)  I want to add more pictures but can't figure out how, so for now I just have that one.

The Turbo Coupe wheels, are those with the TC stock tires?  If so, how is the wheel well clearance?
