Would you be willing to sell just the OEM Marauder wheel?

Last time I checked, Bob Allen Ford still had one NOS rim.

I respect those who value and want the stock wheels. I prefer an aftermarket wheel - not be one of the crowd.

I like the appearance of stock wheels, but the braking and cornering limitations are too much.

I know, I think I'm going to just be patient and if I find the OEMs and build a set. I'll just stay with what I got.

Did you notice an improvement in ride and handling? Have you done any suspension upgrades?

Yes I did. handles like a dream on corners. feels like its stuck to the ground. I've also seen improvement driving down the highway. I'm yet to upgrade the suspension. Not sure where to start, any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Assuming it is an old car, rebuild in the front and upgrade to aftermarket control arms and Metco Watts link in the rear. Addco sway bars are popular.

Then it starts to get expensive. Adjustable coilover shocks from JRI or Penske along with stiffer springs in the front. You can install coil springs in the rear for the linear rate. Bigger brakes are a must for these cars, the Wilwood Aero6 kit is the minimum that holds up to the big car. To stop the caliper knockback in the rear from the C-clip axles you can have Dutchman Axles install a proper tapered roller bearing for long life and stiff axle retention. Lastly, there is freely-articulating torque arm suspension in the rear instead of 4-link.
