Bob, how wet was it in Kaiser, was it flooding ? Some places in W,Va were starting to flood.
Hi Wendell,
It's good to hear from you! We've been between Romney, Keyser, and Cumberland, and haven't seen any flooding, but the creeks and rivers sure
are high!!! I hope you are doing well!!! The little motel we are staying at doesn't have HS internet, I had forgotten how slow dial-up is!! We will be
heading back to NC tomorrow, via Manassas, Va. to visit more inlaws.....

Bob, I think Ranger STX's from the early 90's came OEM with those and possibly they were an option on other models. Have a lookie in my misc gallery. I have the dealer sales brochure from my old 94 Ranger that I sold; if you'd like I can look and see exactly what the deal was. What wheels were you running before?
Bill, I just checked your gallery, and the wheels that were given to me are the third from the left. So, you are correct, these wheels look like they were
used on Rangers. I am, however, curious about the offset, I'll compare the offsets when I get home.
Romney is a cool little town, I read on a plaque that it had changed hands like 50 times(forget exact amount) during the civil war. All those places are close to Petersburg where I'm from. I thought the rims looked pretty good myself, cool rims are never dated, more so when your dated like we are ha ha.
Bob lets see the Ranger with the new wheels on it.I hope I was wrong about the back spaceing and they work!!
I just measured the offset on the Explorer aluminum rims, and it's a little over 0.4". Does anybody know what the offset is on '99 chrome/steel wheels? I did find that the Explorer aluminum wheels weigh 18 lbs, the Ranger chrome/steel wheels weigh 22 lbs. Anytime you can reduce unsprung weight is goodness!!
Ken00 sent me this wheel spec for a 1999 Explorer/Mountaineer, it looks like the 1994 Explorer wheels have about the same offset:
