2008 Explorer XLT
I've had this on my mind for a while, and I've searched around a lot, but nothing quite catches my eye. Maybe I'm not searching hard enough.. but basically, I'm searching for a very nice looking wheel set. I have the XLT trim level, and these wheels, currently, which are 17s :

The idea of steelies with larger, beefy tires is nice, but at this moment I'm not interested in changing the tires. All of the wheels I've found previously all seem flashy, and they're obviously made for smaller cars.. does anybody have any recommendations? What wheels are you using?
 






I am running 18" Flex wheels. Anything 5x4.5 or 5x114.3 with the correct offset will work. 5x115 will work as well, others have run it for years with no major issues. It is flexing your wheels studs .7mm over the width of the pattern, but I'm not 100% sold on running them.
 






Always wondered how the Flex's wheels would look on an Explorer.. got any pics of yours?
