Style 87 or
I have a 2000 4.4. Exterior-wise I only have the skid plate and have no plans of going with the IS body kit. The wheel of choice is commonly the Style 87. but I am also seeing the 4.8is wheels which look good. So the question goes, which is a better looking wheel overall for what I have?

Style 87


Style 168

87's without a doubt! Btw, the 4.8's are style #168.

Love my 87's. Just had the SAV painted, needs new door mouldings next.


Much easier to clean with the WIDE OPEN spaces!

87 on pre face lift as TMV said....and i think on none IS form. But I think the 168 or OEM wheels fit the 4.8is perfectly.

Thanks - ok then on to the hunt. Saw a set of 168 (thanks X5SND) that has a tempting price so it made me think...

OT: all my cars are tinted dark except the X. Can't explain it... But I like how the X looks without tints
