    as some of you may know, im trying hard to get my Maverick painted, tinted, and get a set of wheels on it. I am taking the car in tomorrow for tint to a place here in town called Ray Reductions. Then in about a week its going to go in for body work and paint to a place called Midwest Autobody. they specialize in classics too. Going to paint it a navy blue. Dont know when the wheels will come.. Im hoping for my birthday which is in January (I am only 16 and you know how hard it is having money at this age lol) soo I'll post some pictures of the new tint tomorrow night when I get the Mav back. I cant wait!!:bananaman

    I can't say I remember having ever seen a Magnum 500 style on any car with a four lug.

    Yeah, I'm just going to look and see what I can find. I like the style of em, but I am willing to go with something else. like the "outlaw" wheel I think from American Racing I know that is 4-lug, and its pretty nice looking. i guess I'll just see whats out there once I have the money

    Well, the Rustang II had a similar wheel, in 4-lug, but it's not near as classy as the 5-spoke Magnums. That's probably as close as you'd ever get. Is that the right bolt pattern? Think so...

    mustang II is not the right pattern, I have a set of alum slots my stepfather picked up for mine thinking they would work when I was 4 lug, nope, too small of a pattern, sorry
