Hey guys, I am going to be buying some 22's for my Explorer and I want to get an idea for what you guys think would look the best.
My explorer is 2006 and black.

the 1st set look like the Focus ST alloys that we get over here, they look well cool.. not sure about the black on them tho...
I'd probably just go for one colour on mine...

Alright, so far so good. I appreciate your guys' responses. I like #1 myself because I am going with a Blalck/Chrome all aorund the explorer.
Chrome mirror covers and I am going to buy the chrome luggage rack, like on the limited models.

Well the first set are the ones I really wanted and they were sold out. So I got to thinking, I have the chrome grill and some other chrome mods on the X, why not go ahead and get chrome rims. So here are the ones I ordered and they will be here Wednesday (14th).

I would go with #1. Personally I don't like chrome rims so I wouldn't go with those.

Ground Force lowering springs.

They look pretty good, not a bad choice. As for what else to do, I agree with lowering it. They'd look nicer with a smaller gap in the wheel well.

Do they have these for a 2006 4X4?

Can't go with a smaller gap because I can't go with a bigger tire.
I am running 35 series and I have .5" when I make a full turn of the steering wheel.
