Man this is a tough one and a full crowd this month.

Good luck guys!

I'm a sucker for 84's so I picked one of the 84's, good luck guys, great variety this month.

Talking to a retired Sea Bee last night, so I have to go with Conmech's 84

I sent a PM and never heard back, so I will ask here. Anyone know what the wheels are on Forgotn's Mustang above? Any idea where I can find a dealer? My Fairmont has the same wheels, but my car is still in Oregon and will not get shipped to me until June. It has 5 lug rear wheels and 4 lug fronts. Going to do a 5 lug conversion on the front once it's her so I'm going to need a matching pair of front wheels. Pic below for attention....

Original Predator rims were Shelby rims with spinners. Be a bit tough to locate, and if yours are Shelbys, some of the Predator guys would love to have the 4 lugs if you change to 5 lug.

Congratulations to Conmech and his 1984 Mustang GT350 2.3 Turbo as the winner of the May Ride of the Month!

I will send him the questionnaire and hopefully we can get the article taken care of and posted the first part of May.

Thanks to all the nominees and their cars, we had a great selection of unique and cool cars this month!

I thought I Sent a PM response. I'm not sure why it did not go through but I did type a well though out, and highly educated response. Apparently I was not smart enough to hit the send button. Sorry about that. I think you scored big time on the wheels as they are worth some money to the Predator guys. They are VERY hard to come by but there are a few people on this forum that might be interested in taking them off your hands.

Very common and easy to get Performance wheels in 4 by 108mm. E35 offset IIRC.

Old Mini Lite copies.

Saab 900, MGB GT, Pinto, UK/AU Ford Escort/Cortina replacement alloy wheel. Its a great product.

It has a very thick hub center. AS 1338 alloy wheels have insufficient thread with the stock European/UK/Australian Cortina wheel studs. They are way to short for safety, and are "shanked", not acorn profile. Good US Fox TRX or Turbine hub nuts and US studs, not a problem.

Would I use them? No, but they are used in Historic circuit racers with 110% safety in Australia.






Had them in my Fox like Australian 1980 Ford Cortina




You have to make sure your wheel studs are the correct depth, Dr Matt, we just about killed a young mama prammin' her little one when towing this wagon home one weekend.

More wheel arch issues on the British stuff, thats why I love US Mustang II's and Foxes, proper space for bigger wheels.
