Wheels
Disclaimer: I apologize if I offend anyone who likes to see rusty buckets through shiny wheels.
So I really hate the wheels on the truck. I got 4 reasons why - as follows:
1) I don't like chrome wheels - too shiny! There are obviously a lot of people who don't agree with me, there is a huge chrome wheel aftermarket.
b) Look at the brake drums through the wheel!! How can anyone think that looks good? Rusty buckets! That sounds like a mechanic name :-)
III) There is way too much space between the tire and the wheel well. They could have at least put a higher profile on those 18"s.
D) The truck already has a lot of vibration, having no sidewall flex to absorb some of that is not helping.
I'm looking at a set like these, or a set of these to replace them. Both are $200.
Besides...what the HECK is that!?

Oh, and here's that weight reduction article I was telling you about:

Haha, you can't bling like me! Make it simple, man. The bolt pattern is the same as the Mustang, so you could put the Cobra wheels on it.
