Watch it now!

Just cause you got new wheels doesn't mean you get to diss the pony's! I have 16" chrome pony's on remington tires and they look sweet!!!

I am keeping my pony's for around town driving, but when I want it to look mean, I am going with the Drag Lites.. Those are some awesome wheels, good upgrade when going for a straight line look.. For a corners look the pony's win but for a 1/4 mile look, there's nothing that compares to flat rims IMO..

so 275/50/15's will fit in the rear?? that's a big tire.

Had to take the quad shocks off, havnt felt a diff with them off since they were dead anyways lol. The tire rubs on the outside of the fender sometimes, any suggestions to fix that?

Could roll your lip.
Would make a little more space
Up in the air about the rims tho, can't tell if I love em or not so love em.
Well if you're happy you made the right choice

Thanks man, how exactly would you roll the lip? Bang the inside part in? Or actually roll the whole flare out more?

Yeah, you just kinda mash it up in the insides against the inner side of the fender.
Might be a good idea for a friend who's in autobody to do it tho
Don't trust myself with a hammer close to my car[:@]

Oh and if you do get this done, get some of that rubber coating **** so you can spray that lip down nice and good.
If water gets behind there you're gonna have a nice rustin fender

I don't want to rain on your parade or anything but the loops you had to jump through just to get a 15 inch wheel, you could have went with something a little different. Yeah there's subtle difference but they just look like the holed whels on older rangers and f-150s. But the main thing is that you like them and it's what you want.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I wouldnt change it for anything, its exactly what I wanted. And the "loop" I had to jump through was removing the quad shock held down by 2 bolts, took all of 3 mins.

Same here, can't really make a decision. They almost look too busy, too "blingy" for my tastes, but whatever you like. IMO nothing beats a set of Weld rims for the ultimate straight-line look. Drag-lites > everything.
