where ya get those wheels?

 

Tire Wheel Connection in Houston and New Braunsfels (Austin)
They can trade out your current rims with chromies that come in from California... It takes about a week for your shipment to arrive and they just swap your old wheels with newly chromes wheels. (650-750 range)
Or You can send your information to the company in California of which year model of rims. They would send you the wheels and reimburse you the core charge for your old ones. They do a very good job...Let me now I can get you the informtion to go strait to the company in CALI if your interested.

 

The truck looks great.......would it be possible to get the contact information from you. I've been looking for 03/04 chromies. You gave a price range is that due to shipping? or ?

Additionally, earlier this week I spoke with Mark/LFP we discussed the Hotchkis TVS system. He was anticipating delivery towards the end of the month. I'm sure LFP wants to sell them as bad as we want them. Let keep our fingers crossed...

Thanks for your response........8sm

I had a tire shop order mine. I will talk to the salesman on Monday morning and get the company's name that chromes these wheels. You can call them and maybe they can help you out with all your needs...I will post that pnone number Monday evening.

 

Looks GREAT *****
IMO nothing looks better than Factory Chrome Wheels

You can get the earlier L rims BRAND NEW in the FRPP Boxes for 300.00 a set
+ 200.00 shipping. Total cost 500.00 w center cap, AWESOME DEAL

Rob are those rims the 99/00 or the 01/02 rims??

 

thanks for taking the time to get the information from you tire guy. I for one really appreciate it. I'm going with the 04 wheel style for my 04 sonic blue L.

The early model wheel mentioned at $300 plus $200 for shipping are nice and I agree a screaming deal. If they are the ones on eBay, watch out, they represent they will fit but there return policy is very strict and the restocking fee and return shipping could cost you more than there worth.

Anyone here buy these wheels from this person. Do they fit our 99-04 Lightning trucks. The link to FRPP suggest these wheels are called " Lightning wheels" 1997-1999 F-150 12MM but the year that they fit do not match up with when these trucks were produced with the acception to 1999. I don't know just be careful.

thanks...

 

Hotchkis springs came in today....Probably get them put on sometime this week. Thanks LFP!!!! Hopefully tommorow because it's my day off...I will post before and after pics.....

The 12mm lightning wheels fit the later model 14mm studs perfectly. they are in original Ford boxes, and the chrome is perfect. I just bought a set for my Super-crew and installed Hankook tires on them. The wheels came in two days were double boxed and in perfect condition, and the tire wheel combination balanced with no weights on the front and max weight of one ounce on the back of the wheel. I could not have been happier for the money spent.

 

The truck looks awesome man.

 

Hey Bro havent seen you around a while how you been
99, there on E-bay and down to 8 sets left.

 

Just fininshed lowering truck with Hotchkieis setup... Looks and drives great...Lowering kit showed up yesterday.....Today was my day off, so I didnt waist anytime....Here ya go, check it out......

Sorry the pics are not that great...It was a rush to get home before dark to post up....

 

That is the same company (diversified products) that had the same deal going when I got mine late last year off Ebay....except they were $300 total (shipping and everything) out the door. They had 12 sets then. I wish I had bought another set or two for spare or sold 'em for a profit.

 

do you have a link for the kit? i was thinking about lowering mine. I already have jlp 4" drop but would like it lower. thanks
