I have got a set of American Racing Rims for sell they are about 7.5 or 8" wide and came off of a 96 Ford mustang GT. They will fit anything with a 5 lug 4.5" spacing on them perfect for a Ford Ranger and they will also fit several other cars. You will have to check the amout of offset that you can have. Not sure of the offset on these but I will find out.

Re: F/S 5 X 4.5" Polished Aluminum Wheels. $175

Not trying to bring up old posts, but just wanted to relay an experience we have been thru recently. These wheels were stolen off of my front porch a few weeks ago on Jan 13th. A man came to my house and knocked on the door a couple of times and my wife did not recognize him (rough looking guy) so she did not go to the door. After beating on the door fairly hard a couple of times he backed up into my yard and sat there for 10 minutes, in the meantime she had called me to see if I knew who he was and I said no and advised her to call the law. He left while I was on the phone with her so she thought it was over. About 5 min later he came back, beat on the door really hard and then sat right in front of my house blowing the horn randomly. She got on the phone with the law and they said they had an officer on the Mtn. and would send him right over. During the time she was on the phone with 911 the guy left. Instead of the officer coming to the house he decided to drive around in the area looking for the man in his gold/champagne colored Chevrolet. A few minutes after hanging up the man drives back into the yard and pulled right up to my porch and jumps out and started loading up my wheels. She called 911 and gave them the car description and the tag number (stolen plates off of a jeep) as the guy was driving away. Nothing was ever recovered, as a matter of fact, I have never heard back from the Dade county police department after they did the initial police report. They did tell us this happens fairly often, if no one appears to be home they just load up anything they see on hand of any value.

Where in Dade did this happen? I wish you had a wife like mine because these boys would likely be in the ground!
Was it Lookout or Sand Mtn?

Sand Mountain about one mile from the hardware store near the state line.

Makes no sense a woman home alone calls the law about a stange man beating on her door, he leaves comes back she calls again an the officer doesnt even come to the residence. Stupid if u ask me.

That's especially true in Dade county! We are smothered in law enforcement and I've seen 4 county cruisers reply to a minor domestic dispute.
 
Just add the words....Shots fired....and they would have showed up. If they got mad about no shots just tell them you were planning to if they had not showed up. ;) Jmax

Actually that has been the M.O (don't know how to spell it) used by these theives here in this county since before Christmas. They will check to see if the homeowner is home with a knock on the door and then come back to steal. The Sheriff's Dept. actually caught one wowan here by going down the road with the vehicle description and found her in someone's elses house. I say answer the door with a gun holding back your dog and ask "What the Hell do you want"? If it's a chruch group they will understand....lol..lol...
 
I am sure things would have been different if I had been home. I would have went to the door and he would have asked a bogus question and left and stolen them later. LOL My wife could not believe he was gonna take those right off of the porch. Honest people just cannot believe what the scum of this earth is capable of. Dade County did come up and do a report after driving around looking for the guy but they have not contacted me with any kind of follow up since. But what can they do you have to catch them in the act, possesion is 9/10th of the law. Or something like that.

Were these the wheels? emoScratch
 
They sure looked like them but could never get the guy to return my calls and they were posted three days after mine were stolen.
