MO_GUY 03-03-2003, 03:22 AM the Giovanna are by far the best...
jimbo74 03-03-2003, 03:48 AM i think those all look goofy... too carlike...... need something a little more trucklike
Slick 03-03-2003, 11:59 AM I also love those giovannas. They were in my top 5 choices when I was looking into getting rims. Giovanna is much better quality than limited rims too from what i've heard. Or....u could be the first on the board with spinning rims?? :D
Maximboy69 03-03-2003, 02:36 PM I can see how the last set of rims looks "carlike" but the rest? HEh, those are all obviously truck rims. Anyway, link me to some ones you guys like =). Im still looking.
MO_GUY 03-03-2003, 02:44 PM i like the KMC Clocker, KMC Stealth & American Racing Maxim wheels...although the AR's are GM bolt pattern, they look really mean on an Avalanche
EDIT: Also the KMC Unit
SaleenEXP 03-03-2003, 04:54 PM All I gotta say is Weld's Forged series, Billet Specialties or Colorado Customs;) .
I care about weight though and Welds 20's are lighter then most 17's or 18's. But those 3 are expensive, still, might want to look into them as their only a little more then Giovanna's which are already $$$............and you'll be a hell of a lot more unique:D .
Anywayz, my friend has 23" Giovanna Attacks on his Escalade and they are extremely heavy. They really slowed him down (even with the 6.0 V8), dropped a few mpg (which was already horrible) and has a pretty damn harsh/uncomfortable ride. But I guess he likes to bling bling:confused:
I just like the smooth and clean looks of Billet/Forged rims, I'm not into that flashy-ness. But out of those I'd just say the Giovannas as their more "truck like" then the others.
Haggard 03-03-2003, 06:53 PM I say Giovannas or check out Foose wheels
AnabolicFrolic 03-04-2003, 01:46 AM Monder B52's :-) they are my fav
i cant say i like the ones u have showed us very much.
out of those tho i would say yer 4rth choice is the best of those
But i might be slightly biassed

i think they really set the explorer off.- they arnt too bling bling-ish- they look pretty beefy and truckish.

hrbib21 03-04-2003, 02:07 AM If I have to pick from one of those above, the Giovanna's. I prefer 5 spoke rims, anyway. I really want a pair of Cobra R's. Explorer Express is selling some Cobra R knockoffs for something like $159.95, if I remember correctly. If I wasn't getting married next month, I'd be buying them.:redexp:
Maximboy69 03-04-2003, 03:09 AM I really like 5 spoke on sports cars (especially cobra R). But do you think they would look OK on an SUV? I have a set of Giovanna Essen's 20X8.5 that I believe (correct me if I am wrong) will fit a ford explorer. They are 114.3 bolt pattern, 5 holes, offset 38. Do you think those would look good? I'm currently debating selling those and buying one of the 5 up there, though I definately am going to consider the rims AnabolicFrolic suggested. What do you think of Giovanna Essen's on a ford explorer?
Giovanna Essen pics, scroll down a little (http://www.carhookups.com/GIOVANNA%20WHEELS%20PAGE.htm)
Slick 03-04-2003, 01:36 PM I'm not a big fan of those essens, but its up to you, i'm sure there are plenty of people that dont like my rims, its all about what your into and I am pretty sure those rims will fit just fine, someone correct me if I am wrong. There is a bagged white sport with the barlettas and I think they look pretty good on there, but I wouldnt get them unless you are planning on doing bags.
Shizaun 03-06-2003, 10:13 PM Would those 20 Mondera B52 Wheels fit on a 95 explorer xlt?
AnabolicFrolic 03-06-2003, 11:02 PM the backspacing should be right.. and the bolt pattern is correct.. so i dotn see why not
96EBExplorer 03-16-2003, 02:32 PM I have a set of Boss 306 polished 20" with a set of Goodyear GT II 275/45/20 that i had on my Ex. but i decided to go ahead and sell em. If any of you guys are interested just lemme know.
sapogmxr 03-19-2003, 10:52 AM I would chose the B52's... They look awsome.
