Ford obviously worked out that everyone was getting a bargin and decided to drop it. T= this is an interesting one - my T is a Dec. 03 build, I ordered premo stoppers with 4x18" alloys...now, I dont know if it was my champion salesman or what, but I scored the 5th 18" alloy for free...$1500 extra for the 4, no extra charge for the 5th...and there are plenty of guys on this site with premo stoppers with the 17" factory wheel...so I am confused, but happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up doing it my self. Lazy pricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer had about 6 sets of 17" rims stolen of XR's dad was saying so the salesman told dad that it is easieast to fit locknuts to them and cheaper to fit them than replacing 4 17" rims.We have 17's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
