found on craigslist
They are used but the tires still have the "nipples" on them. Got them for $400 plus my old rims (tires were shot anyway)

Made a huge difference... and is lighting a fire under me to get the 4th gen chrome mirrors and chrome door handles.

Thanks man... they're off a 3rd gen Limited Explorer
I wanted chrome, and was thinking aftermarket.. but these were a great deal and are somewhat factory
 






I love the factory chrome wheels. The look great on an all black Ex. I have one question, I've seen a lot of other factory "chrome" wheels and I can't remember if these are the same, is it all chrome metal or is it an aluminum wheel with a chrome plastic cladding on top? Anyway looks great.
Mine has the aluminum 17" wheels stock and I love the look of them compared to the stock 16" wheels

I know the wheels you are talking about, like a plastic chrome skin/cover on them

But these are solid aluminum :D
 






very nice! :thumbsup:

I showed the pictures to a friend of mine... she said "green rims look cool on a black truck"
I said "they're chrome!"
But the more than I look at it, I guess the grass is in the reflection..
 






Dang... Now I am just seeing green rims.
 






Looks good a deal too!!!!

That reminds me of a ricer I saw yesterday driving a silver WRX with bright green wheels... made me want to barf!
