I am looking for pictures of a 2nd generation explorer (preferably a Sport edition) in white with black wheels.
I am considering black wheels for my 2001 explorer sport and wanted to see how they looked with a white vehicle.

Soft 8s are really good for the price. I've got em on my first gen and love them. You must get them. About 50 bucks each at jegs and very fast shipping.

My Mounty with new Basset Racing 15x8 with 0mm offset. I transferred my stock tires cause their meat is still good, but eventually plan on putting 275/60/15 rear and 235/70/15 front after lowering:

Well since everyone is posting pictures of their black wheels, I guess I will jump on the bandwagon. It is a 92 sport, with the stock modular wheels powdercoated black.

ShadowRaven:

I like how you painted your wheels!!

Did you painted by your own?

What procedure did you use? where do you get the paint? It is a canned paint?

Thanks??

ok. I finally got tired of looking at everyone else's black wheels so I did it myself. Not bad. This was just a quick paint job. Once I decide if I like it or not I probably will get them powder coated and new tires.

Okay that looks completely........












BADASS!!!!

I really like your ride.... It was the 2-door Explorer Sport that got me so interested in Explorers.... I always told myself I wanted one but when I was finally in the market for a new vehicle, they were discontinued, so I got a '04 Ex.. I really wanted a black Ex so I could later do the black rims but they only had a white Explorer on the lot that had the options I wanted (or didn't want)....

Black rims can really be hit or miss... If you don't get the right rim and match it with the right type of tire, it can look like your truck is riding on a bunch of spare tires....
