Where to get SVT wheels?

[White94Atx]

how in the **** to i get SVT wheels to fit my 5 on 4.25 bolt pattern? I've looked all over for a set of cobra wheels to fit but they are all 5 on 4.5?
:thankyou:

From What I understand, you pretty much gotta hunt cougar forums. /nobody sells them..... correct me if I'm wrong

 

[bubba]

correct, you have to do some looking ebay,craigslist, and everywhere in between. You have to look everyday and you might come up with something! good luck

Or you could just chase a set from owner to owner for 5 years like I did.

Possibly the hardest ones to find do to the fact people won't give these wheels away.

I'd opt into the volvo wheel hunt, they have a more vast selection and are a bit easier to find than the SVT wheel.

If you have paticents, you will find a set. I have two sets now, and have passed on a set before. Just keep looking.

volvo's have some nice wheel designs that fit our car, I have a set

they are usually wider too, mine are 7.5" wide by 17". They are OEM wheels, usually built a little bit better then cheap chinese wheels... but you never know.... I like the fact that I can use stock style wheel weights that go on the lips of the wheels. They balance out better, don't fall off, and are easier to balance. Having said that, I must run spacers to make mine fit. The only downside to the volvo option. But I have been running that setup for quite some time now, with hard abuse, and have yet to run into an issue...... I was worried about the number of threads my lugnuts were attached with. I gently cruised around for awhile, then started taking harder corners gradually, then started doing high speed runs.... I feel safe and confident with my current setup....

I saw a set of 18's on a Volvo the other day that almost made me cream my pants...... I'll see if I can find a picture of them!

Mine came with the car I bought. Seems like the only thing the previous owner put money into, oh a a sound system. Other than that, I am up to my neck with car maintenance issues....

so what where the 4.25 svt's orignally made to fit? if the most of them are 4.50, why in the **** where the 4.25 ones made? does anyone know?

The svt wheels were made to fit the Thunderbird cars. They have the 5x108 setup.

My favorite style of volvo wheels, Tethys, or the Volans.

Sweedespeed.com has a current list with pictures. They make me drool everytime I go to look.

I bought mine off of a guy that had them on a Mark VIII.....he didn't even know that they would fit on anything other than his car!

They were made for the SVT Thunderbird concept. A "Cobra" version of the T-Bird that never made production. Ford racing made them after that for the aftermarket.

I am looking for a set of these as well... a guy in my club (MN) has them but i cant find these things anywhere...
