    I don't like the wheels. And tires/rims need to be bigger IMO, but cool looking ride none the less

    You Auusies have always gotten all the cool Ford stuff! I would give anything for one of those XC Cobras.

    Kind of a "What If Ford still made the Ranchero". I agree with John, it needs some tires with a sidewall, other than that, it's sharp!

    man that is cool. I don't see a reason to put any bigger than 17 inch wheels on anything though unless you need room fore more brakes.

    I agree, its just to me it looks like the back tire is to small. its resest too much (back spacing is off) and needs to fill the fender well a little more....but its just my opinion :)
