I feel it makes the wheel more translucent instead of hubcap style.

Yea I like them, I like the color because there not black but not light silver. Im Just happy to have a nice new set of wheels that I can just get tires for and throw on for once.

Holy f*ing sh*t. That's alot. How much did u pay for the new ones??

And GXP rims only cost 840 a piece from the dealer

Ford is crazy with new rim prices, though GM is way up there is prices too.

We had a body shop send us a new rim with the 2013 F-150 Platinum with 22's that got curbed, they told us it was $1,500 just for the one rim lol.

I got the 2 brand new ones and the used one for $325, but thats a steal. The guy who bought the 2 brand new ones spent over $2500 on just 2. He had a 2010 Shelby, I forget the story but the guy was rich and didnt care about them because he didnt have the Shelby anymore and his friend sold them to me. Im looking for a 4th but Im not trying to spend $400+ on 1 reconditioned wheel.

Yea thats nuts lol, but they get the money for it. All dealerships are crazy with there prices on 'most' products.

Here are my measurements, to show you guys what collision measurements look like. I will be using a tram gauge to measure, and they are recorded in MM.

Spring 2015 lol, I think your a year off. You'll be seeing it on the road soon

So is the goal to keep it or eventually flip it

nice to see someone save a car instead of it just rotting or getting ripped apart

Yea this one was defiantly worth saving

Got the rad support off after straightening some metal

The truck has a 289 with a c4 out of a 66 Mustang

Would be perfect time for ASP pulleys and long tubes, lol.
