I'll play. This is actually my Wife's Fox but I do all the greasy stuff. Fox is sitting in the garage right now awaiting her 2nd suspension upgrade. Was gonna be a stree/strip car but now that my wife has her 2010 GT she wants this one full strip.
And yes, those are Affliction Clothing stickers on the battery box.....what can I say she's a woman and loves clothes:(

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice dart board. Love what you guys have done to the fox. Beautiful work on the center console.
 
im actually going with ponys for 2 reasons 1 they look OEM yeah they might not be 16s or only what 8 inches wide but it wont make my car a target for getting broke into thinking i have some expensive wheels and tires. and 2 they are cheap if i go with 275/45/17 it will be about $800 for a full set of wheels and tires and another like $100 if i went with 315/35/17.

if I could afford welds or like dragstars I would get them but the tires are not cheap and the rims are normally not either and lets face it I'm broke as a joke.
 
So big wheels and lowered car=young and stupid, small wheels and stock ride height= old and smart? I dont get the logic there.
I like low cars including Foxes with big wheels, and I like Weld wheels with skinnies up front. Both good looks. I even like an occasional totally stock Fox, or one with a stock ride height is a refreshing change. Some days I get tired of all the aftermarket parts and wonder if some of us shouldn't be doing a resto instead.

Whoa there! I didnt say anything about stupid? If anything, I'm calling myself old. No logic involved. Just different mindsets for different folks. I'm more interested in going fast in a straight line and big heavy wheels, although looking great, are counter productive. If you like it, do it. Its your vehicle. Some foxes look great with big wheels (To a point). Some are just looking for a good cruising vehicle. Even lowered cars are cool (again to a point). Most of the fellows I hang with are about 10 years my junior and they prefer lowered and large wheels that fill up the wheel well. But, they understand that sacrafices performance where loading up the rear wheels is concerned. I appologize if you took offense to what I said.

You're right you didn't call anyone stupid, but I dont think it should be implied that lowered cars are for young kids. When I was 16 I had my car on stock springs with Welds with skinnies up front, now that I'm 23 I like my car low and a nice set of wheels on it.
