Steel Rims w/ Moons

[Scrambler82]

i am thinking of something a little different for the Ranger.
Instead of using Aluminum Wheels as most do I was thinking of a black steel standard rim with baby moons.
Something like these, 16x8 w/ 3.875 BS, black powder coating, s/s moon; http://www.stocktonwheel.com/pdf/PAGE2.pdf

I know I am going to get flax for this but please let me know what you think.

I have seen them done a time or two and I liked them. One truck was actually 50's pink and white with those and it looked great. To each his own though, if you like them go for it, want a better vision - post a request in the Photoshop Forum here and we can put them on there for you . . .

what year ranger u puttin em on? i think they would look good on an older ranger, not so much on a newer style.

My 2003, just thinking here; that is why I am asking.

Not sure where to go, aluminum wheels are expensive and the ones I want do not come in the correct BS for the lift I want.

The steel wheels can be purchased with any BS you want, just about.

I have the chrome baby moons on my truck. I got them years ago and have had a lot of positive comments on them. I don't put the centers on any more though, I have a really hard time with them and getting them off was even harder for me for some reason.

I always wanted a set of them in 17" but the cost is too high. Always liked the classic look.

I saw a Ranger some time ago that had original Magnum 500's on it. Looked SWEET.

I like the idea. I was thinking of it myself as the Aluminum 10 hole ones on my 92 are pitted and the center caps are peeling. Quite ugly.

ya 17" costs way too much for a steel wheel for sure. Unfortunately 17" is the smallest I'll be able to run after I get my brakes done.

I personally like the look of them. Have seen them on a few Rangers and they do look good.

That was the first set of rims I had on my truck. 15x8;s with a reverse offset in the rear. They stuck out like a mother back there. The truck did look pretty cool though, lots of comments on those rims. I always thought of getting the newer SS's in all aluminum but they are not cheap for 17+.

Zman, what are you doing brake wise?

I plane to go with Cragar 313 Series Chrome Smoothies and there prices are more reasonable. Also Wheel Vintiques has a large selection of similar wheels.

OK, thanks to all for the info and the ideas.

I have just changed my mind again because I found some Slotted Aluminum wheels, kind of like the 60's Ansens; I really like the Baby Moon idea but these are Slots.

The price is $166/ea delivered w/ Caps.

Again, Thanks,
