17" Pony Wheels At American Muscle!

[ReefBlueHatch]

I just saw new at American Muscle 17" Pony wheels! Now that Pony R's are gone, hopefully these are a great replacement. OEM center caps will fit these too. Hopefully there will be five lug available.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully in future they make a 17 x 6.5" wheel.

Doesn't someone make a 5 lug in these now? Or have they stopped making them?

Marvelmont (I'm guessing on the spelling) used to make the 17" Pony R wheels in various widths, but from what I understand they are no longer in business.

need chrome... i would love to go this route my notch

American Muscle had chrome Pony R's a few months ago. Thats where I got mine from.

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Love chrome ponies. Saved these a few years ago from a thread on here about Pony's. These might even be 5 lug if I remember correctly.

The best part of this: "OEM center caps will fit these too". I like these a LOT.

 

[jadigen]

wonder if the quality is as good as the OEM ford wheels?

 

[ReefBlueHatch]

Dought it, any aftermarket China wheel will not compair to OEM quality.

I'm still waiting on someone to do a 17" telephone dialer in staggered widths. Years ago MarvoMont talked about doing it, and even produced a CAD model of it, but nothing ever came to fruition.

mavromont was driven by customer interest and presales. With times being tough for a lot of people or if their chinese suppliers shut down its not hard to believe that they are gone.

True, plus their entire product offering was based on a slew of different variants of the same base product. All that means is you've got a lot of different part numbers and a lot of different investments in tooling and processes, and while your overall sales may be decent, the sales for each individual configuration probably sucked and didn't quite justify all the variants from a cost perspective.

I'm getting burned out looking at my FR500's and I think 17" Pony wheels would complement the theme of my car very well.

I found this new website, http://ponyrparts.com and it appears that the wheels can be made available through group buys. This is something I'm going to look into, I'm thinking silver with 8" in the front and 9" out back.

I want an original set of 3 piece fr500s

I think your FR500s look great. Realize that any wheel will look boring after a while.

I love your FR500's, but I think the Ponys would look pretty sweet too. My 92 LX has the stock Ponys and I love how they look, but wish they were 17's. Might look into these but a waiting list sounds like a serious PITA to me.

 

[stykthyn]

I can't see spending that kind of money for a stock looking wheel.

 

[ReefBlueHatch]

Yeah, but they're perfect if you want a kinda stock-looking car and have SN95 brakes. At around $130, I don't think that's expensive.
