I don't want to have to do a 5-lug conversion but it seems to be hard to find any 4-lug wheels that look good
any suggestions? |

There are a lot of SVT replica wheels, and other companies that make wheels for the stangs. |

Check E-bay, mustangtunning.com, or just do a google search for 4 lug wheels. I know mustangtunning has some. Good luck! |

1.) I'm not a dude, I'm a chick 
2.) thanks, just seems like most of what I have found is either chrome, which I hate, or something that everyone and their brother has, like the Cobra R's, I'll keep looking though |

you can do the lug conversion pretty easy and pretty cheap if you do decide to go that way. My friend and I did it on his hatchback. The front knuckles were from a 94-95 gt (have to get them for some reason) with the correct ball join (or it will ride a tiny bit higher in the front) the install was pretty darn easy as well... great time to swap in a set of shocks~
For the rear its a bit more expensive but not to bad really if you go used axles. The things to look out for are wheel bearings in the front and what not~
As for wheels that are 4 lug, check Ford & Ford Racing Performance Parts - GEFRacing.com and AFS (google afs rims for mustangs or something)

the only thing about doing a project like that right now is that this car is one of our daily drivers so we have to have it running to drive to work during the week |

You can do a 5 lug conversion for less than $150 bucks if you have the resources. |

True, especially if you just do the Lincoln front rotor swap and rear axles. But that severly limits your wheel choice. Realistically, people are gonna end up spending a lot more. I think my 94-95 spindles alone cost me $100 from the junkyard. Then I bought some PBR front calipers with rotors (don't remember how much I paid), stainless steel brake lines to work w/ the calipers ($80), had a SN95 balljoints pressed in the front LCAs (instead of doing the whole spacer thing, pretty cheap though), the 5-lug Ranger axle FRPP kit ($200) and probably a few other small things I'm leaving out.
It can get pretty expensive if you don't have a hook-up on cheap parts, or if you're like me and try to use new parts whenever possible... 
If you really wanna stick with 4-lug though, there are some wheels out there... they just aren't easy to find. I know Latemodel Restoration Supply has some. There's one wheel manufacturer who makes several 4 lug versions of newer Mustang wheels, but I cannot for the life of me remember who it is. I've looked and couldn't find it... 
Anyway, the point is that 4-lug wheels are out there, it'll just take a little digging to find. Also, I'd still highly recommend the 5-lug swap route... but I understand if it's a daily driver. Still, you could probably get the whole thing done in a weekend with a little hard work. Just be prepared to spend a little extra money. |
