    Explorer rims for my box

    looking at getting some explorer rims to put on my Merc for the winter. right now i got a set of steelies that were on the car when i bought her but they look ugly and are only 14" i believe.

    im wanted a set of rims i can throw snow tires on for my winter driving. thoughts on the styles?

    always liked the look of these 2.

    I think the chrome ''15 ford ranger rims would look better. Plus, should be cheaper since they are steel, instead of aluminum.

                25-30 is pretty average around here too. At a yard I got 2 2000 signature series wheels with decent tires for 60 a piece. 30 for rim and 30 for tire.

                The plain old steelies are cheaper at around 20-25

                    4.5 inch on 5 lug (4.5x5)
                    it's measured from one lug to the second after (not the immediately next lug, but the one after that).
