I just bought some new rims and rubber for my 86 4 eye mustang. I have a couple pics of before and after the wheels. Let me know what you think.

One of the few years with T-tops. I have a couple Mustang's myself. Never was much of a fox-body fan. Sharp car though!

My favorite sports car by far, especially that body style. Looks great.

Congrats on keeping your car in the best shape ever! Looks brand new!

Don't let my comment discourage you, but I actually like the older wheels better. The new wheels take away from the originality of the car.

Four-eyed pride!

Looks great! My only question- is it just me or are the tires too narrow? It seems like they don't get far enough out to the edge of the rim... Could be the angle though...

Looks awesome!
