Wow...finally replaced those ugly standard 6-spoke vovo wheels that came on my 94 850 Turbo!!! I keep being told it SHOULD have had the 16" 5-spoke "fan" wheels but it had the ugly old 15"s with the plastic center cap over the lugs. Does anyone know the rim width of those things? I have been given a variety of answers.......
It turned out to be really difficult to stick with the 15" size for the 850 in an aftermarket wheel -- VERY few available!!! since i am perfectly happy with the ride and have recently put some Tiger Paw H-rated tires on it, i really didnt want to do a plus1 or plus2. i sell lincoln-mercurys and feel the change in ride quality every day going from regular size to slim-sidewall to rubber bands. however i HOPE i actually picked up a half-inch in width by going to 6.5" wide wheels. bought the nice little MSW 5-spoke 15"x6.5" and they look pretty good! The openness of the wheel keeps the tires from looking too fat. Price was right too (thanks, tire rack).
plan to edit this post and put up a pic soon with my new grille and rims! (if it will ever quit raining when i am not at work!!) not quite finished with exterior yet but its evolving!!

 

I cannot wait to see the pics.

 

here are the pix. price for the 15" was $82, price for 16" is now $94 from tire rack, plus shipping. so for less than $400, i had a nice look! Only problem for me was the ugly center caps. wish i could get some nice flush silver caps or even domed silver caps but they came with the big MSW logo with a raised chrome rim. the so-called plain caps do not have the logo but they also have a hole in the center where the logo is bolted on (!!!).

 

sorry..still learning about attachments...

 

Looks good I would try to make something from the OEM center cap for the new rims.

 

Looks good. I would get the windows tinted and the trim and bumper dyed/painted black.

 

Next on my list is getting the top plastic trim strip replaced (it split from the bottom of the windshield to the rear window on the driver side), THEN get a thorough buffing and wax, followed by a treatment to all the gray plastic that will darken it considerably. Windows coming this spring.
Of course i am looking for a "tie" or grill crossbar to mount in the grille.... dont want to tear up my original grille in case i want to sell (and strip the good stuff off).... and a couple of little tidbits i have in mind ...
