The title says it all. I need a set of 17" rims for my mustang as one of my rims is cracked, and I didn't find out until after I bought brand new tires for it....PM me here or at

Thanks

I've got a set you can have for dirt cheap, as long as you don't care about condition. You can have them for scrap value, $20/ea
They are 17x8. The previous owner buggered one of them pretty bad. He used a die grinder to remove a wheel lock, so there is a groove where the disk cut into the wheel at one lug hole. Other than that, they're mint!

Carl- do you have a Mustang in hiding? I know the Mustang and RX7 bolt patterns are the same...but...fess up- you got Mustangitis don't you?

I wish it were only that bad.

Truthfully I picked up this set of behemoths to run on the RX8, but holy crap, those heavy wheels turned that puppy into a real dog. So, let's just say that I tried walking in your shoes, but didn't have the balls.

Thanks for the offer, but i am kinda looking for some rims in decent shape. My Mustang is by no means a show car but i am a perfectionist and the cut would drive me nuts...lol Thanks again though!

Are these 4 lug or 5 lug Mustang wheels you need? I have a set of 17x9.5 Cobra R wheels that have had tires mounted on them,but never been on a car. They are 4 lug,though.

4-lug Cobra R???? That surprises me. The wheels I have are from a Cobra R, or so I was told. They're 5 lug.
And yes, the cut would drive one nuts. I'm not a perfectionist, and it drove me nuts.

Carl,I have an old 88 Mustang and these are built to fit the Fox 4 lug bolt pattern. They are not "real" Cobra R wheels,but replicas. I guess not what is needed.

Want to buy a bridge? Unless they were from a 1993 Cobra R (very rare) they are not real cobra Rs- not in a 17x8 size.
The knock-offs were made in every concievable size and yes 4 and 5 lug.

OK, so maybe they aren't 8", or maybe they aren't real R wheels, but either way they're friggin' ugly.

...and very heavy!

I have a set for my 89 Cobra R that I cut up to make my roadster

Bump:

Still looking for a decent set of Mustang Rims 17" that will fit 245/45's and 5x114.3 bolt (01 Mustang GT)

I should be back from Afghanistan soonish. And of course now the cracked rim on my car is no longer holding air so i now need something soon than later. I've looked at Tirerack but every thing there is pretty ugly or the exact same bullet style wheels i already own. I did noticed that they had a much larger selection for 05+ Mustangs but i am not sure if those wheels would fit my car....

Anyone know of somewhere else to buy some relatively cheep yet still decent wheels?

Have several sets of 16" / 5 lug wheels that I used to run on my backup car, 88 converted to 5 lug ...... also have two odd 17" x 9" Cobra R's that would would not mind selling, thing is they are the odd 36 mm offset (ie: all my god sets are 24mm offset --- 94-2004 I believe)...... to get the correct wheels you really need to let us know what offset or BS you need ..... Pat

I'VE COMPETED FOR MANY YEARS WITH THE 17X9 VERSION OF THIS RIM WITH NO FAILURES- WELL, NO RIM FAILURES...
