Wow, ASA is making the wheel for the ford bolt pattern. I need to check out tirerack.

I don't like 6-spoke wheels on 5-lug vehicles.

I also don't like chrome on a performance vehicle.

I also don't like the little dimples that are supposed to suggest 2-piece wheels.

Other than that, they look nice. :devil:

I don't
 
Remember Tire Rack having wheel choices for Lightnings before or am I wrong ...? I like those Moda 20's and the price ain't half bad .

Do a search using a regular 2WD F150 and more choices show up.

I have the Moda F5's (set #1, I think). About the same total weight as stock.

Be forewarned--the clearcoat is terrible. Not only is it orange peeled badly, but it is very fragile. Even tiny pieces of dirt on a rag will badly scratch it. Figure additional money for having the clearcoat redone by someone who knows what they are doing. These are German wheels. Damn if I can figure out how any self-respecting German shipped these wheels.

I will be stripping and clear powder coating mine.

Another thing--be sure to open up the inside of the hub chamfer. They are so tight that they will seize up on the rear axle and are hell to get off. Just a little sanding with a flap wheel should get the clearcoat off of the chamfer, which will allow the wheel to come off more easily. Also, add some anti-seize compound to the axle tube.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
 
Think I will take a pass on those - not paying close to $400 per wheel for anything less than F'in perfect ...

See - that's what is going on all over the place everyday in the free market -

"Most amount of money, for the least amount of effort and don't call me when you have a problem"

Thanks for the heads - up...:thumbsup:

Iam kinda like Tim, I like 5 spoke wheels.....

But if you like them on your truck, thats good enough for me:thumbsup:

Green_98 Feb 9, 2003 11:57 AM

I like the look but again, 5 spokes would look better IMO

mecca Feb 9, 2003 12:06 PM

Those would look real good if you painted your brake calipers a bright standout color, ie Red on black.

RTKILLA Feb 9, 2003 12:26 PM

Honestly I don't really like then, but that could change when you see them in person. I never liked the wheels tim got from tire rack when I saw them on there site, but now that we have real life pics they look sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

And chrome is for the homies, bling bling flickin down flat bush brother, HEHEHHEHEHEH. I'm learning that pretty good :devil:
