1988 XR7 up date: Split spokes installed February 05, 2011, 12:15:23 AM I've posted a few things about my on going improvement of a 1988 Cougar XR7 I got for a daily driver. The car was garage kept dealer serviced by its original owner till I got i a couple years ago. Just this last week I finally got tires for the 17" split spoke Mustang wheels I had stashed in my shop. I have a Mark VII 4 wheel disk brakes with the Mark axle in back. As some of you may know the SN95 wheel caps won't fit on an older non modular hub. So I had to modify the front caps. Tell me what you think. Should I do the rear caps as well to keep a consistant look? The fronts still need some polishing.D-sidefrontrear Quote Selected

1988 XR7 up date: Split spokes installed Reply #4 – February 05, 2011, 08:21:51 AM I agree. Match the rear caps with the front. Looks great. Those wheels look better on that car than a Stang. Nicely done. Quote Selected
1988 XR7 up date: Split spokes installed Reply #5 – February 06, 2011, 06:53:40 PM Thanks! The front caps only took 1.5 hrs total. They are not polished yet. I made a dome pattern of the first cap so I can replicate the rest. So the other two should not be an issue. The I will polish and coat. Thanks again for the replys.Bill Quote Selected
