    I don't think so. Might be able to get something similar from American Racing, in that size.

      Want to keep a decent ride.

      Thinking Bullitts painted to match my Lincoln would be nice.

                  Don't be afraid to go 17"... it won't hurt your ride quality. You can still put plenty of rubber on a 17 on these cars.

                  Greater selection of tires available for 17's too.

                    Not true at all.

                    I went from 215/75/14 to 235/60/15 and the ride quality went down significantly. Sure, handle great, but you feel alot more bumps and dips.

                      I know I've seen Torq Thrusts in 16". There was someone on here with a whale body MGM in the Spruce Green color with 16" Torq Thrusts.

                            Might have a good bit to do with where you drive. If you live somewhere like I grew up where they resurface the roads every 3 years, I could easily see not not noticing much ride deterioration with 17s. Nothing at all like that where I live now (road surfaces here would look right at home in Detroit!).

                              Ride quality is pretty subjective, so we can agree to disagree here. I changed from stock 15's to stock (Mustang) 17's. In my opinion it still does not handle great, but does handle SAFELY, which it did not with 15's. I can't imagine what a joke these cars would be with 14's.
