Recently I managed to bend one of the rims on my ex, it's not horribly bent but enough so that it can't be balanced out. Since it's a sport, it came with the 16" steel rims (chrome face), I understand the 4 door ex's come with 15" rims. Does anyone know of where to find one of these rims. I've tried the local junkyards without any luck. I'm trying to get something used, but if I have to I'll buy it new. Here's a pic so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.

I've seen that style on some early 2nd gen Eddie Bauer 4door trucks as well
 






I believe they are on a limited.
 


















Check eBay, or one of the part out threads, like ped5stang's
 












$70 seems steep for a used steel rim, they're getting $50 for alloys at the junkyards here. I'll check ebay too, thanks for the suggestions.
 






I have a set of 4 I have been trying to unload in very good condition. These were really popular at one time. You can click my sig and see pics of them.
 






I'm looking for just the one...
 






I'm pretty sure I've seen that style on rangers as well.
 






Craigslist, Kijiji.com
 






Havent been able to sell them as a set yet. Be willing to part them out one at a time I guess. The wheels probably have less than a few years of use on them, have been stored in a dry basement for quite some time.
 






what are you looking to get for just 1 shipped to 06033?
 






wheels for sale

hey man ive got 4 brand new rims (same as yours) with 4 brand new 255/75/16's. They might have 150 miles on them. 4 sale . . . . . . .Them stock rims by the way is like over $250 a wheel (no joke) $1,000 for anyone who needs them.
 






which tires? you can get 4 rims shipped for $280, $250 a piece is what I'd expect to pay for a high end alloy rim.
 






4-255/75/16" tires new and 4-new 3 spoke stock chrome rims like you got. . .should be the same tires as you have on yours . . . I know you could get better rims for $250 a piece but thats what your stock rims would go for if you bought them straight from the ford factory new. Trust me for a little more i could go get some nice 16" chrome or black wheels and some 33x12.50 16"s mounted and balanced for around 1200 or 1300. My wheels and tires are just for someone who was making one back stock again i guess lmao :):us:
 












I still say stock 16" rims with the right off-set can come off an Elite Explorer. Otherwise, If you are calling me out look on a Dodge ram 1500.
