Ordering soon...want Roush wheels
All,
Just looking for some advice here...I'm looking to order an '05 Lariat Screw in the next couple of weeks. I'm good to go on the price I'll be offering the dealer as far as the truck goes, but I've got some concerns about the wheels I want.
1. I like the 20" Roush wheels, but full retail is $2000 + tires. Not too sure what offer them here on the wheels and tires...not even sure which tire to go with. I can tell you that I'm not going for the slammed look...I plan on putting in a 2.5" autospring kit when I get the truck. I'll want some sort of all terrain tire...like the LT275/65R18 that will come with the truck, but only in a 20" because I don't want to give up too much in ride and gas milage. I'll probably keep the stock Lariat wheels & tires for the winters here in Nebraska.
2. If we can't come to terms with the Roush wheels & 20" tires, then I'll probably buy the Lariat chrome wheels. These retail for $284 each...$1136 for all four. Still...I like the Roushs best!
3. I know I could save some $$ if I bought them outright and had them mounted...I'm trying to get the wheel package into my sale because I'm saving my cash for other mods.
Any advice would be a huge help! I won't get the truck until probably July, so maybe the incentives will help pay for the wheels. Thanks in advance for the help.

I've seen the Roush rims come up on Ebay regularly in the past. I think the total price was around $1600. For some reason I recall seeing that as both the rims and tires, but that seems pretty low for 20's, especially when they have a brand name like Roush on them.
Check around on some wheel and tire sites, you can usually find some great deals on packages. discounttire.com is a good starter, and do a google search for other wheel and tire places. I found a special on some BOSS rims with Kumho tires for $2295 shipped, and those were for 22" chrome.
I will be ordering most of the Roush equipment on my supercrew, but I actually don't care for the rims that they have, so that will be one of the few Roush options I'll be passing up.

Thanks fellas....after thinking about it, I'll probably give a smaller downpayment and pay cash for the wheels. Just makes more sense to go with some online wheel provider than the try to work with the dealer on this.
