    I've still got the ol manual 4 wheel drums, 4 lug setup on my Mav. I'm looking for a different style wheel, not too flashy, preferably a Ford design. Any suggestions???

    Your really limited by the 4 lug design, someone a long time ago had early 80's celica wheels on a mav, same bolt pattern but had to open up the center a bit to clear either the axle or the hub. Not a ford wheel, but a possibility.

    You might try a set of Fox body Mustang wheels.

    No, the 4-lug pattern on the Fox Body cars, as well as Mustang II cars, is different from the Maverick 4 lug pattern.

    Most older Japanese import 4-lug wheels will fit though.

    sure?

    I thought that Mustang II had the same pattern, maybe I mis-measured.

    Yeah I'm sure, I can't remember the exact dimensions so I don't want to guess, but the Mustang II wheels are the same as the Fox-body 4-lug pattern, different from the old 64-68? Mustang and Falcon 6-cyl 4-lug pattern.
