I had gotten tired of my old wheels and tried something different with a set of trashed Steeda Ultralights. They were powdercoated by Millers in Lilburn a steel gray color. I like the open spoke look and they will really show off the Cobra R 4 piston Brembo calipers and eradispeed rotors once I get them on.

Anyway an old pic and a bunch of new.
The old ROH RT wheels:

And the new Steeda wheels...I painted the center as the steeda emblem looked goofy.

Old wheels sold in less than 1 day.
The ROH RT wheels really were too wide due to the backspacing for the coupe. To fit right I would have had to machine material off the hub of the wheel in the front, then it would have had interference with the coilovers and then the new Brembo calipers I have on the way would not fit. The Steeda's fit perfect with the 94 spindles and 95 rearend and have tons of clearance for the 4 piston Brembo's

The wing and skirts will prob come off this winter. I have to see what my car fund looks like after the holiday season. Already the 4 piston Brembo's and eradispeed rotors that are on the way ate into my winter project funds.

Looking good as always. I was looking at set of ultra lights also so you helped my decision. Not to many people have these on a fox. Are they 17's or 18's and what tire size front and rear

The wheels are 17x9. The backspacing is 6" tire size is 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot Sport (not cheap at all) on front and 275/40/17 Nitto Drag Radials on the back. Had to cut the lip on the rear fender to keep from rubbing with the wider 95 rear axle.

I have seen this car many times in person, mostly from behind (too fast). This is one the nicest coupes in the country. The suspension in the car is great and the fit, finish and workman ship is insane. I have been trying to buy this coupe since I meet Randy. Great Car !!!
