- We have some more fun on this video and discuss some of the best looking and worst looking aftermarket wheels you can put on your Ford Fox Body Mustang (In my opinion)
www.417fox.com
The ROH wheels were the ticket back in the day. My preference was always the ZS staggered but all the same
I pre-ordered the makers garage wheels day one and can't wait for mine to arrive.
Top 5 choices are spot on.
I have a set of stagered Pony R's in chrome on my LX and it looks so good. I'm at a crossroads to get either 18" new edge saleen in chrome or 18" SC wheels in charcoal from lmr for my GT.
Don't forget the drop, it will make or break the look.
My absolute favorite aftermarket wheels are the Borbet Type A and the Indy type wheels (like on the Starsky and Hutch car). Putting a set of Indy’s on when we get our Fox back
I gotta say. That's a badass intro. The fuzzy guitar tones and that beautiful red gt. I love it!
Def agree with Pony R. If they woulda came in an option 10" w/ a 4" front that would been fire. I do think i seen someone with that but it was custom?
They made some narrow fronts but I think the most narrow was a 5”.
Awe man, I had a set of Staggered Centerline wheels 17x8, 17x9.5 on my 90 GT. I loved them at the time. But, times have changed. Thanks for what you do!
Thank for the support! 👍🏻👊🏻
Gotta be staggered
Gotta have some dish in the rear
1) RK plasmas
2) weld venturas
3) SVE
4) 18" 93 cobras
5) bullits
I am however partial to the big and little weld wheels. My first car was an 88 lx vert. Cowl hood, weld big and littles. It was bought from a guy who dragged it at our local track so it had a little kick to it. We eventually used it as a donor car after my dad retired. Built a factory 5 cobra Rep. I currently drive an 03 mach 1. But my next project is going to be replicating my first car. Welds and all
If the fox body has enough power under the hood, big & littles look badass! 💪
I still don't understand why BBS or someone else doesn't just remake the RK wheels. I know from one of the forums that BBS no longer has the molds and to remake them would be expensive. I know Im in for a set if they ever do it.
They are simply discontinued like most BBS models from the 90s.
It wasn't that big of a Classic for them to remake that model.
The SSR Steeda ultra light wheels were a expensive option back in the day and are very hard to find now.😢
My number one pick is CCW Classics.
Hey man I didn't know you were doing the keto diet! That's awesome. I've had some fantastic results using that over the last 14 years to tighten up for summer. Forget all those "keto" things from the store, they're all bs. Stick to real food till you get where you want to get. Biggest bit of advice I can give you, embrace the fat in the diet. It doesn't work as well if you keep your old mindset that fat = bad. You need it on that diet. Also intermittent fasting helps so much. When I'm doing it I'll eat noon to 8pm. Just water or black coffee outside of those times. Good luck and keep it up!
Thanks for the advice and support. Really appreciate you!👍🏻👊🏻
for top 5 wheres the weld draglites? those look great on foxbodies
I get it. I am just not a fan of those.
I’ll never get rid of my ponies, 17x9/10 5-lug never been mounted!
Excellent choice of wheels, thank you for sharing 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good job on weight loss. 1 day at a time. I recently got some 18" sve nvx's for my fox. Haven't got the car all together yet , hopefully this spring it'll be on the road.
I gotta have the black sve mesh wheel with aluminum ring. Like the bbk
mesh wheel
LMR has black or gold 17 inch Saleen Style 4 lug wheels for sale, they look great on a 4 eye or lx.
No mention of Stern Face 2'S?
Five worst spot on you are absolutely right. Well at least with four of them. The Cobra R's gonna look hard on the Infamous Project in a 19. But personally I wouldn't go larger than the eighteen.
Agree with all of your picks here. I also dislike any type of three spoke wheel no matter what type of car they're on. I believe the new edge mustangs had them stock.
I use to own the white GT on your thumbnail. I miss that car and the wheels of course. Great video!
Man o man I love that car
May I ask,what is your setup on your red fox in the beginning of your video?love that setup!, thanks
What 5 lug conversion is used on the red mustang gt in the opening of this video ??? I like that set up ....
I’m literally driving from Utah to New Jersey here soon for a set of bbs rks 8.5 front 10 back all black Carbon center cap so happy
Awesome! Stay tuned I got a surprise coming regarding my favorite wheels 😉
Good stuff. I did the same thing with a car and centerlines - told them I wasn't going to buy the car if those came with it 🤣
Im not a mesh wheel fan either but for some reason they look good on an 85 gt to me. Im a big guy also and were almost the same weight so Im right there with ya on the same journey. New subscriber.
something just irks me with 5 lugs and 7 to 9 blade design on the wheel.. I still have the 4 lug Turbines on my 89 GT convert...getting hard to find 15 inch rubber.....
Yup your number 1 is my pick also. Love the vids and thanks again for the hvac kit mine came out trick because I added my own touch. Wish I could share a picture with you as I'm kinda proud of it. I don't do Facebook.

Mike, I picked up a set and having them redone. Going on my 86 Capri. BBS RK's staggered.
Thanks for rubbing it in😜
@@417fox Sorry. I have been looking for years Finally got a set.
Well agree wheels except the big in back and little in front. My fox has Rodlites 15x10 back and 15x6 front. Ive always loved the old sxhool drag style. Then again its only me plus i used to take my xar to the drag strip as well.
Great info on the the wheels & like the RKs as well…who doesn’t? Keep up that weight loss journey.
I’ve wanted BBS RK’s for my lx hatch. Maybe if I ever go 5 lug and can get the money to buy some 😂
LMR has 17" 4 lug BBS style rims, Saleen Style rims that's what you're talking about right?
I love the anniversary cobra wheels….fr500s and of course the ccw like 18” wheels I’m doing on my 86 coupe 👍🏻
Man way you have to play with my fillings like that lol
Hahaha! Sorry bud. I am actually in Omaha right now.
I have 17" bullitts on my 91 red rag top. I think they look great.
Can you get a 17 x 10 Pony that is deep dish? That deep dish is one of the best features of a wide wheel for me.
Centerline Warrior drag wheels were cool imo.
keep doing it man i know sometimes it gets hard trust me i know. Am looking for the BBS rims myself for my foxbody. And keep up the weight loss program
03 17" rims off v6 Mustang really made my Taco pop
My number 1's are the 5 spoke saleens or the zr replicas 18 inchers
Good list and yes, the RK's are awesome. That said, I can't get behind the 18" Cobra reps due to the concavity of the design. Original 5 Lug Cobra R's in silver finish should be in the top 5 for sure, it was the 4 lug versions with the oversized center hub that look horrible. BTW, ROH's were 17x8.5
Cool list! 👍
I agree with some choices (Best and Worst list).
- Wire wheels definitely look out of place on a fox body Mustang and generally any car that is from 80s and younger!
- 19" are just too much, even 18" to be honest...
17" or smaller with meatier tires looks the best and is period correct!
- The Centerlines you showed are indeed not the best looking wheels.
There are certain Billet wheels that look badass on a fox body though!
Have a nice day!
What size bbs rk will fit 5 lug conversion would 18s be to big with a et42
Haha I agree on the meshs on a stang but I got a set of black 17s on my 82 granada wagon, but any wheel you can pull off on a wagon 😂
I have an 87 with the white saleen wheels
Saleen stern or the zr remakes are awesome on foxbodies but on a saleen fox are priceless
Agreed!
I love the sterns I am surprised it’s not a top 5 😀
@@josue4elsol they are so good they have their own category
@@417fox I see the sterns are later in the video. Cool video. I am bias since I do have some 18inch 3 pieces sterns on my sAleen , thank you for the video. Awesome job on the diet
17 inch max.
Agree!
I have the Steeda version of the ROH wheels for my 88 GT. They are 16s, but I agree, I like the 17s better. Got them used probably 25 years ago.
16" looks good as well!
It's period correct!
I want to see a foxbody with some old epic hammer rims 17"
You mean the ones by American Racing?
@@Kev27RS No i believe they were epic hammer rims
@@djdev3077 Oh ok.
Do you have a pic?
For now my 93 Reef Blue Metallic coupe has a M I N T set of staggered ROH Snypers on it. When I go 5L/4disc I'll likely go staggered FR500's unless I have the stack to buy some FORGELINES or HRE's or some American Racing Torque Thrusts or Vintage Wheel Works in 16 inch, no caps and long lug nuts to complete a "Trans Am" racer look.
On weight loss, the weight room has the potential to be your biggest asset if you have access and a trainer with a brain.
5lbs of fat takes as much space as a loaf of wonder bread. 5lbs of muscle takes up a space slightly bigger than a softball.
5lbs is 5lbs is 5lbs. Muscle DOES NOT weigh more than fat.
Sir how much will cost for you fix curb rust on my wheels 2018 Honda civic type R and paint them white
One million dollars
Personally I’m a cragar guy and skinny up front and the meats in the back on the 60-70 model cars
I get it man! Ain’t nothing wrong with liking that style. Just ain’t my style unless they are on the drag strip
@@417fox the handling and stopping isn’t that great with them. On the mustang I have now I have the “factory” 195/70r14 on the front and 255/60r15 on the rear so it’ll still handle well. Plus with a 13” steering wheel and manual steering going bigger isn’t too much fun in town lol.
@@417fox Yes, if the fox body has enough power under the hood and the setup is being used on the strip, then it's badass! 💪
Lol I'm about to put a set of American racing outlaw wheels on my new edge 😅 eh well just using what I got until I can get the wheels I want
How do you feel about the SVO wheels?
I like them on an SVO
not a big fan of your wheel choices (except the ROH), but congrats on the getting healthy journey. Stay at, it, I need to do the same!
My number one is the RKs. I need those RKs in my life 😂😂😂.
I love Nicks Cobra Rs in the original gray color with the two tone paint job sets it off big time. 🤔🚫🧢🚙💨💯💪👊
I really like the 18 inch chrome Pony's in 5 lug that were made years ago but I think the company went out of business. It's hard to pick a number one for me as well.
The polished Centerlines 🤢🤮 I remember they were in partners with Boyd Coddington etc and they were all ugly to me 😂😂😂.
Good job on the weight loss so far. I need to really buckle down myself
Thanks man! We actually got those cobra Rs and they were black with polished lip. I had them powdercoated to that color and man they turned out great.
@@417fox you're welcome brother. I'm thinking about the gun metal ones from wheel replicas in 18s with a polished lip etc 🤔🤔🤔🤔
That was very entertaining even though I’m f body guy. And I always liked those SVT rims to. Brushed aluminum with those little rectangles all the way around close to the lip. You know which ones I’m talking about?
From the 84-86 SVO cars?
@@417fox Yes those are the ones. They looked better when I was a kid for some reason. I thought they had a bit more of a lip or something. Cheers.
How about bullet wheels ?? What do you think on a fox
Not a fan TBH
Love the makers garage reimagined, pricey though
I see you’re running with the sve series 3 wheels. Am I correct? I’m looking at those for my 2012 red candy metallic in a staggered setup with gloss black
Correct! 265/285 35r18s
Best looking wheels are the drag stars big and little by far
I've seen some nice foxbodys on 20in wheels, can sleep on a nice custom look! But that's me though!
So out of place and not period correct at all.
Long live big and littles!!! No one short of autocross or drift needs a 9" wide wheel up front.
Everyone doing these foxbody wheel videos don't mention the 18 in four or five lug 2000 cobra wheel.Went to foxtoberfest in my 89 ssp.I was the only one there from Texas and the only one with 18 in 2000 cobra wheels.
Dear 417 fox,
What wheels do you have on your fox?
SVE Series 3
@@417fox
Thanks man. I really like your your car set up, and enjoy your videos, you do a great job.
What size tire do you have on your SVE series 3 wheels
I HATE centerline wheels! I just bought an 88 mustang model and guess what wheels it came with? Centerlines lol yuck
SMFH anything over 17s on a fox is hidious Chrome ponies for the win 16 x 7s or 17 x 8 Cobra Rs
We all have opinions
U hurt my feelings and i don't know y LMAO. (not really)good video.
Just saw some RKs on Facebook for a cool 6K
Can. I give you a call sir
Tha best I had was the 93 speedline saleens
worst wheel on any platform is the torque thrust in any style
Not a fan of those either
Ya better go in hiding because that cowl hood and BIG & LITTLE'S COMING FOR YA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😜😝
Its all opinion. Wheels are wheels. 10 HOLES SUCK NO MATTER WHAT THOUGH. I have Cobra Rs and everyone hates them on my feature. I give zero F%^KS. Its my car. I also promise you infamous will not have those dumb ass looking ride heights. He knows his stuff. Those were truck 20s you showed lol. Not hating. Just giving my opinion. Keep the vids coming.
Chris is top notch for sure! I have had the pleasure of meeting him in person and being on a Mustang Podcast with him. Great guy
Low profile tires on a big wheel to me looks horrible. I like the meat
Look up Dr. BERG here on youtube. He was a great help in my Weight loss journey. He is an expect in Keto.
since you didnt even mention a CCW Classic... you lost all credibility... lol... deuces..
✌🏻
Yes!
Daytons/Wire wheels on a Foxbody are just plain awful looking!
Centerlines are also hideous!
But you forgot these rims that look horrible on a Foxbody....Cragars!!
I do not like the mesh wheels either. The only exception is some of the Pontiac Firebirds or Trans Am GTA’s that had the mesh looking wheel.
