Fine looking explorer you got there . Can sort of see what I was thinking/hoping to see. It appears that between the back and front the wheels will look slightly different (more chrome like vs more black like) which is a function of the angle and lighting. Do the wheels ever look very bright like a regular chrome wheel, perhaps in direct light/sun?

Anyone know what the lead time is on these wheels?

'bout 3 weeks for mine.

New Flows showed up! Positives: Great looking, shiny, lightweight. Negatives: Fronts don't fit with a CTSV brake upgrade without more spacer, which requires longer studs. Tires cost more than 18s.
Couple more weeks and the goat should have new shoes on.

So you have 19 in front and they don't fit with big brake kit?. Since I have these rims too that changes mine mind on big brake setup maybe. How much farther do you think rim needs to go out for them to fit. How much more of spacer?

I'm having custom 10mm spacers made. I already had a 3mm spacer for the stock 18s to fit. Probably could have gotten away with 2 more of the small spacers, but decided to go billet.
Also, supposedly there is a big brake kit that these rims were designed to work with (without spacers I assume). I don't remember which kit it is, but I heard it from MaverickMan himself.

Anyone know where to get hub rings not able to find any for these wheels

 

[Rich-Tripower]

There are about every size you can imagine available on ebay. You need to know the size of the opening on the wheels and the size of the hub on the car. More than likely someone sells rings in the dimensions you need.

 

[michael.brian.oconne]

I've found several places that sell the size in need unfortunately all of them are currently unavailable I'll give eBay a try thanks

A note about the Flows after running them for a year now... They are lighter than the stock rims and bend much easier as a result. I've hit some Volkswagen sized potholes with the stock wheels and haven't bent one in ten years (chips and rash yes). One year in with the Flows and I have to get 3 straightened. Guess it goes with the territory. Houston roads suck!
