Hey R-F --

I'm interested in buying a set of OEM Ranger Alloys like this:


I know on this site my opinion is darn near sacrilegious, but I tend to prefer the look of trucks with standard Ford Alloys instead of aftermarket ones. Since I know a lot of people on here like to go with the custom look, I figured I’d see if there is anyone who wants to buy new wheels but wants to sell their old ones first.

So, if there is anyone in my area (I’d go to Des Moines, Minneapolis, Madison, and maybe even Chicago if the deal is good enough) that has a set of these in good condition that they don’t want any more? Just looking for rims, but would consider rims and tires.

Thanks
James

 

I did the same mod, i like the look of these alot better. I got mine off e-bay for a good price.

I've been looking on ebay, and haven't found any for a good price. It seems that most that I find are people trying to sell them one at a time to someone who just needs a replacement. $175 each... not a good price.

To be honest -- I'd take your stock ones over what came with my truck, lol


Steelies FTL... only two years old and starting to look pretty ragged. Stupid Iowa winters. I'll probably put snow tires on them and run them in winter -- after I re-paint them to keep the rust at bay.

 

i have stock 255x70r16 tires on my 2000 stock rims i use for driving back home, its a 400mile drive from here back to my house in IL. I didnt want to put tose kind of miles on a mud tire, thats one of the main reasons i got these.

 

i have a full set that has been sittin for over a year but i am in colorado.

 

I have a full set I just pulled off my truck when I got my Cragars on but I'm in NY

 

ive got a set of 14x6's but im in cali and theyre the 93-97 model

 

Take a look on the minneapolis craigslist. Theres usually a set on there for around $300 for the set.

 

good luck on finding a set, i finally found a set after looking for 6 years, but i do have a set of 16" teardrops for sale, but i'm in oregon

 

i have a set with 285's i'm in northern ky though

 

Haha all you guys have something for sale but your far away from this guy lol. I have $1 but im in VA lol

 

Eh, that's what I'm finding. Oh well -- I'll keep looking

Ha - I didn't think about MSP CL. I checked all the other ones that are close (Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Des Moines, Rochester, Quad Cities). Thanks for the tip.

For those that have them - does anyone know if I can mount my TPMS sensors in these?

 

yes you can, i believe they are the valve stems

 

Yes you can. You will need to buy now bands though. They are about $5 a piece and any tire shop will have them. The sensors are not in the valve stems like most vehicles.

Personally, I would just pull the dash and disconnect the bulb, and leave the sensors off.
