yes, that paint and the tonneau cover but the height and wheels no sorry dude but this one is staying old school . trying to keep it 'MURICA!!

[Belvader]

sis just got a new 8th gen!

hood sanded... finally

ohh yea!

sorry it took so long to get this done, I had to get somebody to help take the hood off and put it back on

[Belvader]

Ok sorry if any of you get pissed by these questions, I just want true car guys opinions . Should I go ahead and lower the ranger and get a decent wheel set up on or just work on the smaller stuff for now like the royal wheel I intend on getting.... The only problem with changing the wheel is I'm going to have to get a +05 mustang steering hub where the steering wheel bolts on because there a no hub adapters made for a 00 ranger due to the airbag. So again just put in your honest opinion and shit if you want put in your wheel choice because I have an idea for the wheels but one of you may know of a wheel I've never heard of that would look awesome on it. Thanks guys

Lower it and get a decent set of wheels. I couldn't give you much of a suggestion on the wheels as I'm not a mini truck guy but your steering wheel is holding up fine as it is unless you want to swap it for something that feels better in your hands. Plus, a suspension and wheels seem to be easier to accomplish than your steering wheel swap.

Thanks man, and I'm really doing it steering wheel for the looks to be honest, so I figure I'll just go ahead and try to drop it some more and I know I'm gonna hear shit for this but I'm gonna be straight up with u guys this is my wheel options that I'm considering
- 16x10 white steelies
- 15x10 cragars s/s
- current stock wheels with spacers
- 15x10 centerlines
Still open to any suggestions I just wanted to throw out the current ideas for wheels

[milano_red]

I say a drop and wheels.

As far as suggestions go, I think it would look awesome one some work vs-xx

[milano_red]

Oh, didn't realize you wanted 15's or 16's

Option 1 - not feelin it
Option 2 - what finish?
Option 3 - No. Just no.
Option 4 - Which ones? This decision will either make or break you.

I'm thinking go with a 16x10 and meat flush it. What kind of backspacing can you get away with?

[Belvader]

Ya I would prefer 16x10's but the other wheels I listed they don't make in a 16x10 so I figured if it came down to it I would settle for a 15x10

Option two can only come in chrome plated, and option four is like what's already on the rear of my c10 and I'm not sure about the back spacing but I want all offset honestly my more lip the happier I am. And honestly I don't look at wheels as the making or breaking point because I have like 3 sets already and if nothing else I can just get another set

[rice4life]

I vote cobra wheels.

[Belvader]

I vote cobra wheels.

I would do that but so many ranger guys run them I want something different

[milano_red]

I vote these.

Saw them in summit a while back, I think they're centerline.
