and are they going onto the Blue Expy above?


and have you looked at the 04-09 F-150 rims? they are a direct bolt-on for the 03+ Expy

It should be the blue EB in the picture...

But yea, which rims are you looking at? I think Ford offered more than one chrome wheel, though I'm not sure... Post a pic of them, and I'll try putting them in the pic

Just an opinion here, but, unless you're getting the chrome OEMs for real cheap, I'd either save the money for another mod, or put it towards a set of aftermarket rims. No use spending money to mod, just to look like the Expy down the street. Just my 2 cents, though.

UPDATE After making all the plans and getting the funds together I hear, "I sold my Expedition and the new owner wanted to keep the wheels/tires" Amazing how fast he sold it from yesterday morning.
