It gets a whole lot easier if you're willing to spend a few hours doing a 5 lug conversion.

Then you can start shopping for 94+ Mustang wheels and tires. Last time I checked, the Pony wheels were ridiculously expensive for what they are.
5 lug swap in an el-piece-o-cake. That opens up all kinds of possibilities, like my personal favorite, Pro Stars!

You should still be able to hunt around (ebay, racin junk, saleen, steeda) etc etc for a GOOD used set, or even take offs, tires and all for what you're willing to spend on 50's tires. MOST of the 50's I've seen are way up in speed rating as well, (read as way up in expensive rating as well) so there's some options for ya.
