I have a red 97 and might be getting some black rims tomorrow. Have you done any mods to your truck so far?

I have a set of 20 in. MB Motoring rims for my truck. I would post a pic but they are off for the winter. But you can go to google and search MB Motoring along with Smooth. That is the style I have. By the way I have a 98 f150 XLT 4x4.

Just look at the show off thread on here, that should give you plenty ideas. And don't get a chip, if you want something either get a custom tune and tuner or don't get one at all, the others are just a waste.

There is a thread on "red Beasts " that might give you some ideas. In the mean time here is my Expd, on Helo 791s in black.

18x9.5 thats a pretty wide rim you could put some big tires on those. If I hadn't already ordered my wheels Id be interested.
