Wheels and sliders

[MountaineerGreen]

1. I need the sliders and herculiner in the same shade of grey as the lower portion of the mounty

2. The inside of the wheels thats silver to the same shade of grey.

3. The wheel face to grey and the insets in black.

Any other combination that looks cool- the sliders rockers and wheels are up to be modified soon.

Confused what the difference is.

The way I read it is, you want the whole wheel grey with black insets. Is that right?

It's hard to explain- the face of the wheel is machined aluminum- the insets are metallic silver.

I am either going to leave the face as is and paint the insets or paint the face and the insets also.

The insets are marked here-

Make sense?

I vote no, keep them the way they are.

Very nice truck by the way.

Here is a picture of a factory wheel with the dark insets:

BTW, do you have a lot of rub with those tires? It looks like there isn't much room there...

Is it possible to see this with the inserts done in the same gray as the body panels?

Only rub occasionally at full stuff while turning. 98% of the time none at all.

I made them myself.

Are those wheels identical dimension wise to the stock 16x7's that came on'99 Sports and Ranger's? Baackspacing, offset and what not. The reason I ask is because I'm looking to replace mine because they are corroded and they look great on yours! Any input would be great. Also, I saw you put Fx4 decals on yours. Did they hit the fuel door on the other side? Did you have to cut them so the door could open? Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Answers my question and those are the ones I'm looking at. They really modernize our aging body styles. An you're right, they're going for about $150ea on ebay. Let me know when you are selling yours...

Not to be a pain but you pasted the link to the wheels twice. If you happen to read this and can guide me in the direction of the decal thread that would be awsome. I'll keep searching though. Thanks!

The wheels are expensive because they are easy to bend in wrecks. 4 good wheels would be hard to find. Me, I have 3 good ones, one OK one and one that would make a good spare. And they will likely be for sale before too long, another project looms that will require new wheels.

They bend easy or something because they're aluminum? That sucks. They sure do look purty!

Keep me in mind sure when that project presents itself. Assuming I don't find a great deal anywhere (which I won't), I could take them off your hands. I would hope you still have the Ford center caps though...
