Anyone have any more info on some of these wheels?

The wheels on the far right are what I'm talking about. I saw some of these on a Ranger locally a few weeks ago and they looked awesome. I have the split 5 spoke ones that I've never been too crazy about (3rd from right) and if I knew that the other style was available, I would have optioned the truck out for those ones instead. I didn't even see them in the catalog when i was shopping, so they threw me off when i saw them in person the first time.

Was it a mid year change or what? I want a set lol. They look sick and even better with some 31s :D

That would be awesome. If you have the name of the place too I can just give them a call.

It makes me pissy because I have a Sport and I didn't see any trucks with these wheels until recently. NONE of the cars I looked at had these wheels, nor did I even know they were available when I bought.

the ones on the far right were the sport model rims for 07 to 09 the y spoked ones second form the right are an FX4 exclusive they were brought back in 2010 as an add-on for the sports FX4 package. there stock rims so there probably really expensive the one on the far right i just quoted today they wanted $800 for 1 rim. i have no idea why i told the guy maybe if they were solid gold.

I dig em! they look good. Are they machined or painted silver?

they are 15s right?

I want a set to toss some 31s on. As a bonus they probably have the TMPS too. awesome.

they are stock on 08 xlt 4x4s. i ordered mid feb 08, so they might have been designed for the 08 year. they are no longer an option on 2010s. not too sure about 09s tho. i've seen some around but mostly it's the ones in the middle; those con-cave styled ones or the steel 7 spoke chrome ones. i'm also certain that they are a 8" wide rim. stock rubber is 255/70R16. i tried to measure the width between the spokes and that came to 8.5.

i also tried to look up that link from meadowlands ford that had the brochures but the link is bad. if anyone has those links, please post them up.
