They both look like truck rims to me but buy what you like.

2 15x7 Soft 8 with 4" backspacing - 79.98
1 set of valve stems - 14.99

total not counting shipping - 174.95
Shipping is about 12.95 and they will get here in about 2 days. Price seems pretty good.
SOB, where do you get valve stems for $15!? they are 30 or 40 cents at my local autozone.

They are Mr. Gasket kind on jegs and summit racing.


If I can find this one auction on ebay, I'll post up a pic of the rims but no link to the auction itself .

Here is link to ebay auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...#ht_500wt_1214

They are the ones I would like, but they end 2 days too early for me. So if anyone on here wants them, bid away.

I don't like black wheels. They look cheap and they always make the black rubber on the tire look dull.

Those ebay wheels look cool.

I say get some Mag 500, Cragar SS, Torque Thrust or Keystone Classic wheels.

If you need inexpensive wheels get the Cragar Softs in chrome or the similar older style chrome wheels that used to be called nugget I think. They have slightly smaller holse and rivets on them.

Honestly, I think either of those are a step up from the late-model rims you were running. Ugh.

Between the two, I'd pick the V5's. That said, I think you can do better.

I don't like either of those rims to be honest. The ones on E-Bay are nice. Those would look sweet. I would just hold off till you are ready to buy and think about it more. There are sooo many options out there. I'm always swapping out rims,cause I just get bored with them.

I know there are alot out there, but I have a car show next weekend and need a set of rims before then. The ones I have on now are temporary and they are rusted and wrong offset.
