IM LOOKIN FOR A SET OF RIMS FOR MY 93 RANGER,IM AT A LOSS BECAUSE MOST OF THE INBREDS IN MY TOWN HAVE STOCK RIMS.NO OFFENSE TO THE INBREDS WITH STOCK RIMS.JK.I WAS LOOKIN AT SOME MANTIS WITH LOW PROFILES BUT I AM ALSO INTEERSTED IN OVER SIZED TIRES,JUST DEPENDS ON THE WHIM OF THE MOMENT.IF YOU THINK YOUR RANGER LOOKS TIGHT POST A PIC,I NEED IDEAS.BY THE WAY,IF YOU ARE LOOKIN FOR A WAY TO SPICE UP YOUR INTERIOR,INVEST IN NEOPRENE SEAT COVERS.THEY ARE PRICY BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT.THEY DRY IN MINUTES AFETR YOUVE BEEN TO THE BEACH AND THE GIVE SHARP CONTRASTS OF COLOR IN YOUR CAR. WWW.WETOKOLE.COM IS WHERE YOU CAN SEE THEIR ASSORTMENT OF COLORS.

I'm also looking for some ideas for rims. Got some cheesy 15" rims on it now. Looking to go larger. Not necessarily looking for chrome due to all the road salt and stuff we have here in cold weather. Any advice on brands/styles would be much appreciated.

Checked out the seat covers...for the $225 they want for them, someone could buy a rim or two! :eek:

MAN THOSE SEAT COVERS ROCK,WET OKOLE CHARGED ME 250 FOR MINE BUT IVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER PERSON IN MY TOWN WITH THEM SO ITS WORTH IT.THEY HAVENT TAKEN ONE STAIN.I WORK AT A PIZZA PLACE AND GET CRAP ON THEM ALL THE TIME.THEY SERIOUSLY DRY IN MINUTES,AND THEY STILL DONT SMELL.IF YOUR LOOKIN FOR RIMS THAT WILL LOOK TIGHT WITH BIG TIRES,PICK YOURSELF UP SOMESPLIT 5 SPOKE,MY FRIEND HAS A 98 RANGE ROVER WITH 20'S AND I THINK THEY ARE THE BEST LOOKIN RIMS IVE EVER SEEN ON A TRUCK ANYWAYS.IF YOU WANNA GO CHEAP, WWW.AMERICANRACING.COM HAS SOME BLACK RIMS AND THEY ARE PRETTY INCONSPICUOUS IF THATS WHAT YOURE LOOKIN FOR,THEY WOULD LOOK KILLER WITH SOME YELLOW LETTER TIRES.(THIS REPLY WAS DIRECTED TOWARDS WHOEVER REPLIED TO MY FIRST STATEMENT.)

That's a nice clean truck tuckn. Love those rims. Can't wait to see your truck with a fresh coat of paint. What color are you gonna go with?

thanks for the compliments. for a color choice im thinking about painting it the red that the new corvettes have . im not sure if that is victory red or what not. and its also gonna have silver tribal flames going down the side as well. that grill is a Stull and i got it for 139 from a local accessory store, took about 20 minutes to put it in and it lined up very well with the factory mounting holes.

Looks pretty boss there rangerfunk. I like those rims, matter of fact, I've been looking at putting a set on my ranger, a 95 ext. cab, I think those chrome monsters would look great on my truck, even better if I could drop it 2 in the front and 4 in the rear as you've done but.. can't do that right now. one question, why did you go with 17x7 instead of 17x8 or 17x9.5? what size/brand of tire did you end up going with? let me know I'd appreciate it, those rims aren't cheap and a little bit of $$$ always goes a long ways, thanks mike

If you go to http://www.wheelswheelswheels.com they've got a java program where you can add any of the rims the stock on your truck. They've got all styles of rangers from 93 on up. You can change the color, customize a color, lower it, raise. It's pretty sweet. You should definately check it out.

well those are polished aluminum not chrome, that is a 4 inch drop in the front, but now i have bags and it looks like this with the air out of the bags, i didn't see any point of a rim that wide and i wanted to make sure the rear rims and tires would fit up in the fender wells, which they barely do with the 17x7's, i got 235/45 kumho tires

here's a closer pic of the rim after some aluminum polish and some elbow grease.

Hey if you want to get a pair of those....let me know..
I have a 99 w/ a 60/40 with the center console attached... I can test fit them for you and maybe get cheaper shipping...instead of paying WETO to do it........By the way I live 25 minutes from their store

Heres a pic of the rims I just got. I have more at my web-site. It's a freakin mess right now cause my computer crashed and I lost a good copy of it. I have to make a whole new site probably.
