Most conventional directions say 8 minutes at 220F will do it, and it's worked in the past. After 8 minutes, I had hot plastic but the glue would not move. It's not like the stock headlights black weatherstripping adhesive glue, it's more like clear RTV silicone. I cranked it up to 250 and put them in another two minutes, but by that point the plastic was so hot the mounting lances were starting to distort so I pulled them out, straightened them, and let it cool and give up. I'll do some research and see if there is some other way to pull these apart.<img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0233.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />There was NOTHING to do at work and both Adam and my wife suggested I throw a set of 18x7 Konig Troubles on the car that I have had sitting around trying to sell (unsuccessfully) for many years. The tires on the stock rims are 2/32 and 4/32, respectively, so there's a potentially big expense (around here, even good condition used tires are $60 each). The other side to the argument is whether or not myself or other die hard Mustang enthusiasts love the wheels or not, the general public viewing the car would be more likely to buy. The pictures speak for themselves.<img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0234.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0239.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0236.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0235.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0241.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0243.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0242.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The rear looks stupid, a lot further into the wheel well than stock, but actually it's not. I'm going to try and find some 1" spacers for the back, I have some 3/16" to use for the front. Taking the center caps out was such an improvement (thanks Rader). A little ricey IMO, but I agree, to the general public looking to buy this car, these wheels with spacers, new paint, and lowered would probably be pretty appealing.I got my ASE test results back today as well. I let them expire being out of the game a few years, but took A1, A4, and A5 at the last testing session.<img src="http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/cjr2003firefly2/1994%20Mustang/IMG_0244.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Total Invested To Date:$2188.54</blockquote>
