The stock rims that came with my 98 Ranger suck. Way to small (14) There is some really nice stock rims for rangers. Where would you be looking if you wanted to get some better stock rimes for your ranger? Look how small these things are on my truck. Looks like crap.

so are you looking for aftermarket rims or different ranger rims? if you want other ranger rims your best bet would be ebay or a junkyard... also keep an eye on the forsale boards here and other ranger sites

Yes, I agree stock rims are garbage. I had a set of 15" on mine and swaped those out real quick

Redneckstone nice looking truck bro. I bet those rims you got would look sick on mine :) What size were your stock rims 15's right? I like the rims I got on my truck but they're just to damn small. Looks silly.

skyjacker that's a great deal. I would take you up on that if I lived next door but shipping to Canada from Texas might be costly. Thanks for the offer.


Right now I'm just looking for something bigger. These 14 just look dumb. It's driving me crazy. I'd go buy some after markets but we're going into winter here. Going to wait till spring.

The 14's with these tires looks alright. I'll deal with it for winter anyway. I plan to tint the cab windows in the coming weeks. It needs it. I feel like I'm in a fish tank.
