    well with the color and look of the car, you could run both and it would look really good but i think i would lean more towards the dog pans myself (y)

    If those are the only choices. I vote steel wheels, don't care for those particular mag wheels.

    The mags for this 43 tear old, but...... I don't like those wheels at all, I didn't like them when they were new and really don't like them now, even though I thin they are an improvement over the steels....of course the steels could look alot better with beauty rings. And of course, JMO.

    You don't have to tell eveyone that I tried to buy them! :rofl2: :biglaugh:
    You're getting way too much work done - I need to come stop that.

    I'm torn between these wheels - I like them both. They sure look better on this car than the 4 door. I wonder how the slots would look? :dancing:

    Also, is that a new Expedition too?

    I didn't but you just did Randy!:D

    The black truck would be an Excusion with a 4 inch lift that gets a whopping 8 miles to the gallon. It's not mine,it's my little brothers.
    He just bought a 2 ton 6 wheel drive military transport becouse the
    excursion might not go everywhere he wants to go!(y)

    Mags for this 39 year old. Just not those Mags. I'm kind of like Ward, I never cared for those particular rims much. I just purchased some Slots off evil bay for my Stallion. I think the Slots look the very best on these cars but I do like the torque thrust style as well as Cragers. I used to run a set of baby moons on my Grabber with the Beauty Rings. I always thought it looked alot like smoothies. Just my 2 cents....

    Those mag wheels are dated, if your going to use them, you'd better get "A Flock Of Seagulls" cassette, and some "Parachute Pants" to go along with them. :D
