Crown Victoria Wheels, Yay or Nay...

[RedPhoenix]

Working on my budget build daily driver 1uz Supra.... The car is sitting on steelies and I want to replace them. I really want Conquest wheels, but I cannot find them locally or in any of the yards here for a good price.

What about Crown Victoria Wheels? 16x7 +6? around... Either silver, gunmetal or bronze color...

The car is sitting on Intrax Springs that came with the car... It is Pearl White.

Its growing on me... I think maybe its because I have been looking at them on some nice RX7's... lol

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

those cars pictured don't have crown vic wheels on them...

I didnt know people actually do this? Theres a crown vic that sits outside this guys house up the block from me and i thought about how those wheels would look on my car....kinda weird. It sucks that there only 7in wide if they were wider id probably hope on those.

Yeah they are. Crown Vic wheels had 2 different style 16" mesh. Very similar, just slightly different spoke design. All of those pictures are Crown Victoria Wheels... I think the front of the red mk3 is another Ford wheel, but the rear is Crown Victoria from what I read from the OP.

lol i thought you meant these wheels

those wheels look pretty nice -- really old school.

I wonder if they weigh more than sawblades. they sure as hell have a better offset.

if you can get them for really cheap...like $100 a set with tires(lol) i'd say go for it. but the width kinda makes it not worth it for more than that

 

[Guyana00]

The offset is nice, not bad width for a 16. I would definitely get them if they were cheap enough, I didn't expect to see these rims in this thread....lol.

 

[Sside]

Oooh, I like...... I'm actually considering buying some... I want them bronze thou, op you said they come in bronze but I couldnt find any......

Sorry, I meant I will paint them.

 

[mk3design]

wow, Ive also thought of this every time ive seen one. I would do it for sure

 

[mkIIIman089]

The style actually fits pretty nicely! They'd have to be like... free, though.

 

[Guyana00]

Man, I just happened to see a set on kijiji locally but they were the 15's, not so nice.

 

[RedPhoenix]

Wow, pleasently suprised. Went junkyard hunting today, found 2 sets of 2 in different yards. Picked up 1 set of two to see how they look... I like them, I think I will go get the 2nd set.

More pictures on my build thread...

x2 HAHAHA I was thinking the same thing!

 

[Sam]

They match the MKIII supra quite well and have a superior offset to the stock rims by far! I wish I would have found a set of these for my winter rims. I vote for the gunmetal color.

 

[Supra_Z]

I see I'm not the only one that wanted to do this but you know 3rd gen trans am gta meshes are 16x8? not sure of offset but when painted black look beautiful and would look great on a mkiii

 

[Canuckrz]

This really has me thinking; hey red phoenix can you do us a quick favor and weigh them?

Also what years are those rims found on?

 

[figgie]

Supramang has them. He is a nieghbor of mine up here.

They actually fit the "style" of the supra.

Wrong lug pattern.

 

[supra90turbo]

I've wanted to do this forever as well!
How do they sit to the edge of the fender? I assume being a +7 they're quite a bit further out than the stockers.

Mounted pics please!

::edit:: any chance you could put that wheel on a scale? Curious as to what it weighs.

16x7 cv mesh is 25.2 lb
