You must be joking. My E24 M6 also came with TRX tires/wheels; I just switched to 16" wheels and 225/50-16 tires. Problem solved. Finding suitable tires and wheels for an '80s Mustang or T-Bird is even easier.
I assume he's joking/trolling, as replacement rims for Fords are trivial to purchase, but in case someone is genuinely looking for TRX tires, they are available from Coker Tire:

Spendy, yes, but if you can afford to have multiple classic cars sitting around doing nothing, then you can afford the tires.
No Hangfire, Im not Trolling or joking, (You must be a major clown to even say that) I have priced the Coker website but I dont feel like spending nearly 2000 dollars per car to have the correct tires. (220-55-390mm) Two of My TRX shod cars are sometimes entered in local and National car shows (MCA Thoughobred Class) and The wrong wheels would be a 100 point deduction on a possible 700 point scale. (Not changing wheels) Im just out of luck when I want to drive (rarely) these cars any longer,as they dont even hold air very well any longer.
Have you considered buying a second set of wheels and rims, so you can drive the car regularly, and save the TRX wheels for the car shows?
