The credit for the stance belongs to Nuts - he did all the work on my car to get it passed engineering - including springs etc
:like:

Awesome!! Can somebody photo shop that C/A red for me? Would love to see how they would look on my Red 69 Mach 1. Found the dealer, $320 each for 15x8

hey 69candy,

just remember mine are 16" x 8"
and from memory they cost around $1200 for a set
included centre caps, wheel nuts and freight.

google coca cola mustang and there are a bucket load of photos with the mini lites on it
the only specs in can find is rim width 8" but no diameter
also check out the following site
ponysite dot de

When that car arrived it was shod in Daisy's. They were 15 X 8 as that was the max size for that weight of car in the Trans Am series in the US. Fronts were 5 on 5" stud pattern (Lincoln brakes) & 5 on 4 1/2" on the rear (Mustang front discs with 4 piston 67 type calipers). It changed out here as the series changed, however the car lost its Minilites then.

Bob Jane's (#7) Mustang was the ex Shelby 68 that Jerry Titus drove. That car is now back in Texas, I believe, but still with the Webber intake & carbs it was allowed to run with in Australia (TA regs allowed one 4bbl carb).

Do you know what the backspacing on those 15x8's are 69candy? You boys know where I'm heading with this, right?

69Candy,
Show wheels seem to have taken over the performance wheels manufacturing. The gallery on there website seems to have been lifted from the old now non existent performance wheels web page.
Show wheels have a showroom in Rowville Victoria.
give them a call - they should know the correct offset.

Ha! I still haven't paid him the 50 bucks for the last item he picked up from you on my behalf!

Does it make it OK that I have not used said part yet?

I've given Showwheels 3 goes at doing wheels for my car. Last time I was in Vic I even went and saw them face to face. Nice bloke, promised the world and never heard from him again. Couple of emails and still no response. I am moving on.
