Looking for 5x4.5 Wheels either 15's or 17's I don't really care, whatever is on my truck is good awful ugly and I hate it...most ideal set would be polished walkers/KMC's but I am open to whatever and that includes something like a trail ready beadlock since this thing see's it's fair share of mid level crawling when it's not holding down jackstands....I know I know "swap it to a better pattern"....no, that's a pain in the ass, and I am lazy.

Also taking a longshot but would really love to find the FX4 level 2 manual shifter....doing a 5 speed swap and it'd be cool to source that somewhere, it seems impossible to find.

Thanks gentlemen.

I am probably not helping at all here, but have you considered having the wheels stripped and polished? Or maybe even having OMF convert them to beadlocks or simulated beadlocks? Those are cool wheels but i do agree that the coating on them makes them look cheap.

For one of my builds i sourced some factory ford ranger fx4 Alcoas and had them polished, those would look clean on your truck. eBay is your best bet there

I have considered it but I don't know enough about the process, is it as easy as getting aircraft stripper and just pressure washing? ....you also make a great point about those factory alcoas but they are only 15x7 I believe?
