A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR RIMS ... LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE THE AE117'S? DID YOU GET THEM IN CHROME OR POLISHED? CAN'T TELL FROM YOUR PROFILE PICTURE. PRETTY DAMN SHINEY IF THEY ARE POLISHED. I LIVE IN CANTON,OH AND MY RIMS WILL BE USED ALL YEAR ROUND (SNOW/SALT). ANY OPINIONS ABOUT CHROME VS POLISHED?

They're polished aluminum. Either way you go, chrome or polished, road salt wreaks havoc on wheels. I've had both and they need extra care when you drive 'em in winter. I used to have polished aluminum wheels on my F150 and cleaned them up well before the snow flew and put a good coat of wax on them. After a couple of years though the mirror finish was dulled. Still looked good, just not "like new". Same thing applies to chrome. Keep em shined up, waxed, and clean as you can!
I am running the factory wheels through the winter to try and keep the Eagle Alloys looking good for as long as possible.

THANKS FOR THE INFO. YOUR ALUMINUMS LOOK GREAT. LOVE THE LOOK OF THE 3" BODY LIFT AND THE 32'S. LOOKS LIFTED BUT YOU DIDN'T STUFF THE WHEEL WELLS FULL OF 33'S TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIFTED. THE 3" LIFT AND THE 3-3/4" BACK SPACING (WAY BIGGER THAN THE STOCK 5-1/2" STOCK) DIDN'T HURT CLEARANCE (RUBBING). LOVE THE LOOK OF THE LIFTED AND WIDER STANCE. CAN'T GO WITH THE 12.50'S (BIG TIME KNOBIES) MINE'S AN EVERY DAY DRIVER IN THE CITY. I'M LOOKING AT 15X8 AE'S (3-3/4"BS) WITH 32X11.50 BFG KO'S. LOVE THE SHAKER HOOD YOU PUT IN, I HAD THE BALLS TO CUT A HOLE IN THE HOOD OF MY OLD CUTLAS AND THROW A T/A SHAKER SCOOP IN IT JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT. (KIDS !) I'VE GOT THE AAR RAM AIR HOOD ON MY DAK NOW, SO SWEET. LOOKS LIKE MY 71 CHALLEGER FROM HIGH SCHOOL. (ALMOST TOO LONG AGO TO THINK ABOUT !) THANKS AGAIN!

Thanks Cantondak! And let me know how you fare out with the BFG Muds. The Mickeys look good and perform well, but they're still a little on the loud side. I DO like to hear the exhaust rumble a bit too, ya know? hehehe
