What wheels do you guys suggest?

[03ranger30]

I am trying to do the whole blacked out look on my truck and a big part of that is the wheels. Only problem is I dont know what to look for. It was easy with my Jeep, all you had to do was get Soft 8s and you were set.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks

if you still have your soft 8's off your old jeep the ranger is the same bolt pattern and they will bolt right on..

I wish I would have kept them, but sadly those were sold with the Jeep.

Go with what ya know! Get another set of soft 8's

I do like them, but they are really heavy and killed mileage when they were on my Jeep.

You could always grab yourself a can of black spray paint.

You can get those for your Ranger, Bro. The black wheels do look great!!!! Check 4Wheelparts, check Tire Kingdom or other local shops by you. I have seen several Ranger with the soft8 wheels on them. Jeep patterns are the same...just the backspacing for what you need. I can bolt on a Jeep wheel on my Ranger....since I have a spare mounted in my bed that is an AR wheel and it is in the Jeep bolt pattern. It is just not as deep as my AR wheels are.

Here is my Ranger with the AR wheels. You can see they are deeper then the Jeep wheel photo below I posted:

Here is the spare that is in my bed. It is not as deep as my wheels but it bolts right up to my Ranger.

+1, you can't make out the details of a black rim from more than 10' away anyway.

I really like the 1st/2nd gen rims in black on my Ranger:

Unfortunately, those are the clearest pictures I have if you're trying to figure out how they'd look on a late model.

15x8 with 3.75 in of backspacing is the way to go

If you want black steelies check out Summit Racing

4 wheel parts does some sales. They are having a major sale June 18th. There might be something on sale that day idk

the soft 8s shouldnt effect gas mileage at all, ive never seen a actual difference between gas mileage and wheels aside from size and width
