Default cheap (knock-off?) wheels

I'm looking to get rid of the stock wheels on my 91 lx. I really like the look of the Weld Pro Stars / Draglites but they're too expensive for my blood. Anyone know of similar style wheels that are cheaper? I'd rather spend less then have super-light wheels.

Thanks

Related question: It looks like a lot of people are riding around in 87-93 mustangs on 5 bolt wheels.. is this after brake/axle conversions or something? My car has 4 bolt.

Yes, it's is pretty poplar to covery fox body cars to 5-lug.

Try looking at Crager rims, they make Weld type rims that are cheaper I think.

Cragar makes a set that looks just like the Dragstars in Chromed Steel rather than aluminum, they're around $100 each which is pretty cheap. Check out jegs.com

get a set of front rotor's from a 87- too i think 90 ranger, then find 2 rear axle's , from same ranger, but you have to get the longer one's, think driver's side, bam, 5 lug stang, use your same stang bearing's etc for the front, not real sure on the rear, got rid of my fox body before i did this, hope i helped , someone who know's more could help you. good luck.
