    I want a 15" version so I could stuff meatier tires under the back. I'd kill for a 15x9. I like the factory rims on my 92, so im stuck with a 16" 245 nitto as my only option.

    If you blink at the end of the straight away you'll miss the twisties and what fun would that be!

    17" Pony's look awesome on our cars so it's nice to finally see a big supplier carrying them. Up until now finding a set was pretty difficult. 17's are the perfect size wheel for a fox IMO.

    I know right .. I am sure back in the day it was not hard at all to find 4 lug wheels for the Mustang ..
    But now it is like almost impossible to find aftermarket 4 lug wheels ..

    I liked how ponies looked on my GT, but wanted the newer brakes because I hate drums so the ponies had to go. I wouldn't mind a set of 17x8 in five lug, but I have a hard time paying that much per wheel when you can get a nice set of SN95 wheels for $100-200.

    I always thought they looked a little stockish, especially on aero cars like my 92, I mean take a pony wheel off and put a pony wheel back on and spend $1200 doing it

    Wrong!!!! Mavromont Industries Pony R wheels were made in 4 lug, sizes were 17x6.5 to 17x10. You can also get them in 5 lug, Their core market were the 4 lug versions for 79-93 foxbody mustangs..
