[TPR] tires and wheels

[David in Durango]

"Did we always have this many wheels and tires?"

Let's keep it short.
I have 4 17 x9 "Cobra" wheels - dark grey powder coated.

See them here:

Oooh, pretty!

The mounted Goodyear race rubber WAS wonderful, but no longer - they will 
need tires.

$400

Now.  These wheels fit my Pantera fine - front and rear.

I was told that the mustang wheels won't fit the rear of a Pantera unless 
(this is the part I'm not sure about) "the disc hat is moved to the 
outside" - I am very unclear on this because they fit my car fine.

Anyway, I could "donate" these to the cause for the cheepcheep $400 price.

Let me know.

I can be reached (most times) at 970 sevenfournine ninetwosixtwo.

all the best,

I'm told, but have not verified yet, that Mustang Cobra R wheels fit
nicely in a 17x8.  And I think they can be had for as little as about
$150 each, maybe less depending on where you get them.  I've been
meaning to check it out and had a guy in our local Mustang club all
lined up but we've not got together to do a test fit.
