Are there any "enthusiast useful" applications for 18x8 oem Mustang wheels besides Mustangs? I have 4 perfect condition oem take-off wheels which are left over from my 2012.

About 26 lbs each

5X114.3

70.3 center bore

Thanks,

Dick

I know some 240sx guys have used them in the past, but a hub centric ring is needed.

I sold my set of OE wheels to a guy that was going to put them on a Marauder.

Thanks for the input!

Question regarding hub centric: Is the 240sx actually hub centric versus lug centric? If hub centric does a hub centric ring therefore need to machined metal versus common plastic inserts?

I understand, but don't really know, that in some cases a centering ring simply helps position the wheel prior to tightening the lug nuts.

The 240 does not require hub centric wheels. The lug nuts wheel center the wheels as long as they are installed properly.
