Thanks. I've had the FRs on for about a year now.
This weekend I was going to go down and have them swapped out for the Y2ks but we've had a huge rain storm roll through and now I'm having second thoughts. Go figure...
i was never much of a fan of black wheels on black cars. just blends in too much and doesn't give it any character. might be my computer screen, but i can't even tell what wheels those are...
Thanks. Rs will be going on this week, weather permitting. Now I'll need to get bigger brakes since since they'll be more visible, lol.
I may have to sell the FRs to suppliment the purchase. I saw that Baer has a Eradispeed +1 setup for the rears that would give me a bracket to allow me to use my stock rear caliper, by moving it out and 2-13" rotors for around $250.
It would be cool if they offered the same type of bracket relocation & discs for the fronts but I didn't see any. They have a set up for the 2005s and up though.
The main reason I wanted to swap was it seemed that everyone & their Grandma are running some sort of black wheel and some look pretty cheesy. There are tons of imitators out there. And a lot of people that "try too hard". Althoiugh there are some really nice wheels out there, I wouldn't put a non-Ford specific wheel or rep wheel on my ride though. I think that's where people can get screwed up.
But the more I thought about it, and the philosophy I have is: if they are the right black wheels, on the right car, then you could pull it off.
I decided to keep the FRs on. I'm glad that I didn't put the Y2Ks on earlier last week like I planned to. It gave me more time to rethink everything.
