Looking for wheels like this

I know this is a ranger but I really like the way the wheels look. Can anybody think of wheels that have this style of raised "U" spoke that would fit an 8? Its kind of a crappy picture but its the only one I could find that has a pic taken from an angle. Most others are from straight on and you cannot see the depth of the raised "U" spoke. Its like the hub face is set inward if that makes sense... Thanks for any suggestions

I searched around a bit. Didn't see anything. I'm not asking anyone to search. I'm just thinking maybe a wheel nut might recognize something from memory.

Look a little bit like Work CR Kai wheels. Or you could get FR500 wheels, they are more similar and ford-y. Not exact, but maybe similar enough style that you'll like.

CR-KAI:


FR500 replicas:

The FR500 wheels you posted look pretty cool but they remind me a lot of the oem series 2 rx8 wheels. What I'm drawn to about the ranger wheels is that they are "U' spokes in stead of the more common "V"s.

I wouldn't even be too proud to rock the ranger wheels but they are 16" and probably only 7" wide. I think it would look goofy do go down from a 19" to a 16". That and i doubt they would fit over the brakes

OEM Nissan 370z kind of resemble those.

The ranger has the same bolt patern as our 8. I've seen rangers with 18" rx8 wheels. Find someone who will sell his.

Being a 16 they would have to be dirt cheap/borderline free for me to consider them. I don't see that happening.

Just purely for looks, I wouldn't be happy with anything under a 18"
