Any pictures of an explorer with black wheels?

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.

possibly wrong?

I do alot of reading and browsing the internet and it was to my understanding that you can either lower or lift with blocks, the only thing you have to do is move the blocks above or below your leaf springs.

I would think shackles would be a superior way to go, but blocks are still do able am i wrong?

I'm new to the explorer game so all information is great, just don't blow up on me haha.

blocks wont work unless you move the axle under the spring. just go out and look at your x

I am currently looking at a 2001 Sport in black and these pices really ad to my desire to buy it! Is this vehicle lifted? I used to have a lifted '96 and regret selling it and I've always liked the Sports.

Anybody intereseted in a 2005 Legacy? :D
 












Was thinking of getting these for my 97.

Hey Mounty, could you link the thread for your tire carrier or post some pictures of it? I can't remember where the thrad was and can't find it, thanks.
 
























Thanks man, Having trouble finding time to fab up a steel rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier with having 7 week old baby boy so I may go this route for now.
 






Ok, I want to play. Ignore the slight rear squat. That was remedied a couple of months ago when I installed an AAL.

The Details:

2001 XLT 5.0 AWD
AAL
4.10LS
Cragar 15x8 Soft 8s
31x10.50 Firestone Destination ATs
2.25 Duals with 3.5" Black Powdercoated Tips
Synthetic Fluids
Blah Blah Blah

I was in the process of blacking everything out. I had plans to bedline the chrome bits, but now I'm looking at a 2011 Ranger, so I'm not sure how much longer the Sploder will be in the family.

good choice josh! How long until your stateside?

what offset did you get?

Thanks Steve! The wheels I had originally polled where back ordered like 6 weeks nation-wide. I wanted some to put on when I come home for leave so I went with those. I come home for leave during Christmas, and then I should be back for good April-ish 2012, so about four more months til the fun begins :D.

EDIT: and they are -12 offset..should stick out about 51mm further than my stock wheels.
