Default new wheels! what do ya think?

i had to get rid of the centerline wheels when i put the nine inch in. i went with these m/t mudder wheels. 15x8 up front and 15x12 out back. what do you think?

the only thing holding me back from a trip to the track is a little fitting for the powersteering pump. then its on baby!

it's a little weird seeing those wheels with tires that small, but it's still nice

yeah, you usually see these wheels with big mud tires attached to them! but these were the only wheels i could find that were readily available with the backspacing i needed without coming off a whole lotta green. they hold the 325/60/15 m/t`s well though!

Wow man that looks nice! I like those wheels on it, reminds me of the aluminum truck rally's from the 80's and early 90's.

You got some $chachingaling$ wrapped up in all of those AN fittings let alone all the other goods under the hood! Nice truck

quick kill story...... i was running down the highway last weekend and a guy in a cobra came up beside me, then he tried to drive away but i wouldnt let him. he slows to about 50mph, hits it, and starts to pull away. i let him get about 3 car lengths ahead. then i punch it and fly by him. i let off and exit the highway a few miles up. i pull in at a local car cruise and park. sure enough i see the cobra.(along with about 20 others with it) it must of been with some sort of mustang club. i start talking to the cobra owner. he says "dude, i never thought that truck could reel me in like that! whats in that thing?" so, i show him the truck and he just stood there scratching his head. his buddy thats with him points to one of my coil packs and says" whats that thing?" i say "its a canuuter valve for the blower"he says"oh, cool!" ha ha, dumbass! the funny thing about this truck is with the 3 inch pipes and 40 series flowmasters it sounds like a firetruck as it shifts through the gears, but when the converter locks up in high gear its as quiet as it was when the 305 was in it! i just cant wait until i get the rest of the boost im missing!
