I think those are one of the best looking OEM wheels for a Fox....jump on it! They look awesome on a GT too....they should've had 17s from the factory.

Wow, those actually look really good on your car. I'd have to see it with the real thing on there, but I don't think I'd change the color.

He just thinks I have my priorities unaligned, esp. since I don't have a job!

I talked to the GF about them. She said she would buy them outright, and my axles and stuff for my rear conv.!!! All i'll have to get are the front spindles, calipers, etc.

Hey just a quick Q, can I use the 96+ axles with ranger drums? I like how they set the wheels out, aligned with the quarters.

I use my stock brakes you mean

The only thing about the rear is I hate C-clips. If I had known I would be taking out my axles so much I would have bought the eliminator kit. First gears, then for the tlock build, and now this... Ah well I'll get over it.

Front won't be too bad either, just go by a good guide and read up lots before you do it.

Anybody have pics of 96+spindles on the front. Can you tell the 8mm difference easily??

i find is easier if you have some push the axle in and then pull the c-clips outs...goes faster...i dont really mind em... my biggest pita so far has been the fill bolt for the dif to get fuild in there.

That is the only way to do it, push axle in and pull it out, but it is not always so simple, have you pulled axles? It is a bitch sometimes if the s- spring is in the way, which in my case it always has been. I swear the hardest part of my t-lock rebuild was getting out my c-clips. I had to end up sticking a small flat head under it to gently pull it over the lip of the s-spring then I had to stick another large flat head in to pry it up. Only then was I able to get it out. It should have been easy, but not everything goes as smoothly as you hear on the interweb

No what I am saying is that There was no way for me to get needle nosed pliers in. I have a HUGE assortment of all the best needle nose pliers, too. The S-spring was just blocking the way, and also even if I could get needle nose pliers on it, it was always a pain when the damn thing spun around the axle on ya oh and to put it into perspective when I was putting the clip bac in, I literally had to pound it with a sledge to make it slide into place.

Don't paint the wheels, they look fine in their original finish.

The most I am thinking of painting is the inner lip, like all the surfaces on the sides of the spokes. I'd leave the face machined. I'll think about it.

Anyway ryan, I also remembered what I had to do when I was reinstalling the c-clip. The two ends of the clip were too fat to slide in, I grinded them to a blade so that I could at least get it started, then I took a screw driver and a sledge to pound it in. When I pull them back out I'll take a pic.

Ok well depending on the pics he is going to send of "slight curb rash" I will be picking them up tomorrow!!
