Something like these salty! These are on my 1989 F150 4x4

 

Thanks Gary. She's solid for sure.

I think we may be on the same page as far as wheels. What do yall think about these?



Mockup...

 

The chromed steel Ford wheel in the middle would look great. Nothing wrong with the other Ford wheels, but the trim rings are a pain and finding some with nice red stripes are a lot of trouble or a lot of $$.

 

Ahh, I didn't realize there where separate rings. I don't like the red on them anyhow.

Here's some with black in the center I found on fordification...

 

Currently, I have the ('92-'96 F150) wheels like you have pictured in the middle --only they are painted black.

 

The wheels look fine but I would have to ditch the white walls.

 

Yep. White walls and hubcaps, yes. White walls and wheels, no. --although I'm not really fond of white walls in either situation but, that's just me.

 

Exactly...the white walls look fine with the stock bone stock hub cap steel wheels. But a sport tire with white letters look good on a mag, or black wall if you like.

 

The wheel in the 1st picture in the 2nd row will not be an option with a 5 x 5.5" lug pattern. That's a (baby) Ranger pickup wheel for a 5 x 4.5" lug pattern.

 

Agreed, I didn't match in tires in the mockup cause that would be a real PITA, but yeah if and when I get wheels I'll be asking yall about tire sizes. Then I'll put one of these underneath for spare and the other three in the shed.

The black looks sick with the dark green. Mine has a a red white and blue color scheme going so I don't want to throw much more black in the mix.

One thing I just thought of though... yall have short beds. Much more sporty than mine looking like she just rolled out of the hay barn.

 

I just put the 15" x 7.5" black F150 wheels on until I can do something different. They look much better than what was on my truck when I bought it --the stock, skinny steelies and no hubcaps.



In between this and just before I installed the black '92-'95 F150 wheels, the Ranger was rockin' a set of dog dishes.

 

I like the alum wheels with the small holes. But sometimes simple is better, I like Ultraranger's silver wheels and dog bowl caps (must be a big and HUNGRY dog)-lol

 

I am still a fan of chrome so I normally would vote for the middle pic. But I'm thinking the combo of your paint color and 8 foot bed sways me from chrome wheels. I'd like to see wheels like Steve's photo chopped on your truck same color as the truck's paint, same color as the back bumper, same color as the interior, and finally black.

 

Which ones are you referring to? The silver steelies or the 90's rims painted black?

 

IMO, changing wheels would be a big mistake. Changing wheels will drastically alter the appearance and characater of your vehicle. Why look like every other late model car and pickup on the road? Keep the stock nostalgic era base model look, it is WHY YOUR TRUCK STANDS OUT in the crowd. Only thing I would do is dump the white walls, or just reverse them to the inside.
