7 because when I received the last 4 UPS lost one so I ended up with 3. Well, Carson then told me about another 4 on ebay for 200. They were located in Boston, the guy was selling locally only. So Deezo, after I sent the money, scooped them up for me. So, 3 plus 4, I now have 7 of them. And I guess thats good because I have 3 spares. The four I have on now have a lower profile tire. 205/50/16's instead of Carson's 205/55/16's from the other three. So, Carson's 16's are the ones sitting. His look newer so Im going to eventually mount one of the ones with the 205/50/16 tires on the same tire as Carson's old ones and roll his instead. Got pics.....

nice rims, just need to paint those bumpers bro

max95q

iTrader: (10)

Yeah, the front one was an aftermarket new one and the company who sent it to the body shop didnt do the paint process correctly as you can see. The rear bumper skid mark happened when someone from my old apartment complex hit my car. I didnt know who it was so I couldnt file anything. Is all I remember was going inside and coming out later that day and it was there. I was mad. Thanks for the complements though.

Black paint will make your ride look nasty.

iTrader: (10)

Yeah, either black or the maroon they had back in the 80's for our maximas. After I installed the rims I started thinking that maybe it would look better as being just one color instead of two now, lol. With the factory rims the two tone was nice, now Im wondering only if it was all white or black or the 4th gen 97-99 maroonish black cherry color. I cant remember the name of it, very nice though. Now I know why we continue to mod our cars, because once we do there's something else that can make it look better with the stuff we just added.

any way looks pretty good, what happened to your front bumper?

iTrader: (2)

Looks nice man.

The front bumper is an aftermarket one. I was in an accident 5 years ago and I got a new bumper and side passenger fender. They even faded the paint to look like the aged paint so there wouldnt be too much of an off balance of the Bronze on the fender. Anyway, the bumper was a prepainted one and I take it the company who did it, didnt prime it underneath first, so after the first 2 years it started pealing and after washing it and the weather it peeled more and more. I want to get the front and rear bumper repainted in the future and possibly the whole car because the hood is alittle weathered. Against that new fender you can tell a difference.


Lowering springs might be in the works but Im just enjoying the new rims for now. Steering has improved alot. I have to get use to the sensitive steering now. My next add on is the CAI from Carson. So, once I get the MAF adapter from ebay itll be on.

Rosewood, thats the color. I wouldnt mind that on my car for real. I like it on the 4th gens. I think it would look pretty clean on a second gen.

And you know this.Since these are discontinued it took me a while to track some down. Carson helped me as well and found these for me on Ebay. Its the end to a long terrible wait. Im very happy. I need better tires because these ones that came with the rims suck in wet conditions. I wont be able to do that though until I get some more money.

Looks good Q!!! Its about time you got the rims on...it has been forever

max95q

iTrader: (10)

I agree, it is definately about time. My 3 year old son is just as ecstatic about them as I. He loves them. First he asked me if they were spinners. Of course I told him no, but they do spin. Ive had alot of compliments about my car here since I have gotten them too. Thanks abunch man.

Next will be the CAI. I think I might make it a short intake for the time being until I get into the mood of getting at the fender. Just waiting to get the Maf adapter and new filter.

cardana24

iTrader: (81)

Your getting a new filter? That was the third one I tried on my set up...It was a special order from K&N, thats not a regular 30 dollar K&N it has strange deminsions so it was hard to get....but if you can get a larger filter to fit in the fender well more power to you , that little one still made my fender liner stick out a little.

max95q

iTrader: (10)

Well, on ebay they have the metal MAF adapters and they come with a new filter too, so I thought why not. I have the cleaning kit for the K&N style filters so I may just use the one you sent me. But I want a bigger filter, hopefully it will work out fitment wise. Did you have to cut the fender hole out?

I just looked at reviews on the tires that the rims came with from Boston. They are Firestone Firehawk GTA's. Nothing but bad reviews left and right. Majority Ford owners. Some people stated that these tires are dangerous, Im getting kind of weary. Ive never liked Firestones anyway but they came with the wheels. What do you guys roll on? I had Falken 512's on my factory rims and Yokohama A550's or something before that. What are some suggestions? I have looked at these 3 as some potent contenders in what I am looking at price range wise. BF Goodrich Traction T/A, Falken 512's again, or Kuhmo Ecsta ASX's.

ive got kuhmo asx's and they are very quiet and great on wet and dry traction. plus a great price

I have Nitto 555 extreme's, and I really like them, this is the second set I have had and they are good in all weather, but great in dry weather...and they are quiet. I also had Yokohama Prada Spec II's on my second gen and I liked those tires but they are kinda noisey.
