    Considering New Wheels

    I'm considering getting new wheels for my Grand Marq, but I'm not all too familiar with brands and all for wheels. What's a good brand that I could trust and not break the bank with? Maybe some aluminum alloy wheels to replace my stock steel ones?

    I've got a set of explorer wheels that I had on my old vic.

    The most common wheel brands I see around here are Ford, Cragar, and American Racing. Tirerack.com or tires.com have a good selection, kinda pricey though.

      Hey MRMarquis, check out PepBoys, they have a good selection and a few cheap ones. Also, discouttiredirect.com sells some good wheels at a low price. I have bought from both that site and PepBoys and got good quality at a low price. Sears stores also have a good selection and often have sales. I bought wheels for a Tacoma I used to own from Sears and they were the best of all the wheels I ever bought.

          American Racing wheels are expensive usually, but check out the link to see what style of wheel you think looks good on your car.

                    I like the ones Tiggie picked too. The other ones look like truck wheels. Didn't Rangers have very similar wheels at one point?

                      Yeah, they did, though there was something with the number of holes (10 vs. 8). Don't get those wheels though, everyone and their mom has them already - Roach III sports them in his black TC, Montey on his GM, I'm sure we have a Vic with them too.

                          Ugh, why does everyone like those damn outlaw style wheels...Very common, ranger, jeep and chevy all used very similar style ones too.

                            I like these also...The Trakstar S/S wheels. They look pretty slick.
