Cost me $180 to get them drilled to fit with steel inserts installed, better than OEM now. Paid $225 for the 99-04 17x8 Mustang Bullitt wheels. That's $405 which is cheaper than anything I could find that was made to fit already. No refinishing of wheel needed at all. I did have a slight bit of tire rub at at full lock to left only but have had it lined up and haven't noticed it since. 225/50-17 is the most tire you're gonna get on the front with this wheel.

Personally. I love the panel look, all except for, the rims.. No offense, but I think they look better on a Mustang.

 

IMO , Those rims look kick azz , And i would'nt change them for nothing.

 

No offense taken at all, but I think they look better on anything except a Mustang.

Even saying Mustang twice, was painful enough.. My Grandfather retired from General Motors Flint, Bishop Plant..

 

X 2, Sharp Panel also...

 

That looks really good. I'm trying to get a set redrilled for my 97 thunderbird. We also have the 5x108 bolt pattern.

I was wondering if I could get a close up picture of the wheel drilled with inserts installed? I have a shop that can redrill wheels but they are saying there's not enough room on the wheel for a 5x108 bolt pattern.

 

Welcome to the site Tbird.

FYI. This thread is 2 years old and the OP, 8thmileman, has not been on this site in over a year.
Doubt you'll get a response for a close up picture.

 

And the HHR has a 5 X 110 MM bolt pattern not 108, just saying

 

Oldblue. His info says he has a Tbird. Maybe he's just cruising our forums to get some ideas for his Ford.
