I had AI mockup an image of our ranger with D window style steelies. What do you all think? I've heard they are a bad choice due to being a bit heavier than aluminum wheels. They are so cheap though and I think they look great.

They look okay. Do you know how much weight they would normally add?

Those wheels are classic. I've seen them on lots of Jeeps, Scouts, and Broncos, so yes, they look good. You have good taste, and they're black , so more better! :sunglasses:

Similarly sized alloy wheels like methods are 25-28lbs so the difference is certainly not negligible.
