Yeah I know they wont be everyone's tastes but here are two of my previous cars (and the Cougar I still own with some old wheels) and you might understand....

The first pic is my Cougar back when I was running 14 inch steelies. Blue Cougar running 14s and dog dishes. The last one is my Galaxie on its second set of steelies. I ran 15inch steelies on it first, then I ran some Chrysler 300 17inch steelies that were modified. 17x7 fronts and 17x9 rears. I liked them and even kept them for a while after I sold the car. (eventually sold them to a guy with a Dodge Challenger)
Sooooo with that said... here are some cell pics of my 94 and its new shoes. Ford Crown Victoria P71 cop car wheels. 17x7.5 up front with 245/45 17 BFG G-Force Sports. 17x9 with 275/40 17 BFG G-Force Sports out back.
Yes, they are heavy, no they aren't everyones cup of tea, and yes I will put the P71 center caps on it as soon as I get a set of lugnuts that the caps attach to. (the last pic the cap is just sitting on there).
FWIW, the front wheel weighs as much as an OEM Cobra 17x9. (actually lighter if you factor in the tire as well) The rears... they weigh more but besides that the car doesn't feel as heavy as I expected.
Next step... Cobra brakes and a drop!
