Does anyone have the American Racing Fuel (Black Teflon) wheels on their Explorer?

My son has picked these wheels out for his 2001 Explorer Sport. I am not a fan of all black wheels and I just wanted to see how they looked on an Explorer. If anyone has them or knows of any pics of these wheels on an Explorer please let me know.

I would like to see those wheels as well. I really like them. Cool thing about Teflon wheels if your car overheats you can make eggs and pancakes on the face of the wheels. Easy cleanup too.

If it's like teflon cook pans, any sharp cooking objects or in the wheels case, rocks and debris, will probably take off the teflon coating. Nice idea though, maybe they can improve the strength of it to withstand scratching.

Thats a good point. can't use a metal spatula on it :(

I would look for something powdercoated if he really wants black. a lot more durable.
