Which wheels?

Ok guys, I'm planning on buying new wheels and tires soon and needed some opinions. I have a Roush F-150 with the Roush wheels right now. I'm thinking of the Harley wheels:


or the lightning wheels shown here:


Or should i stick with my wheels that I have and just get new tires? I was also planning on dropping the back of my truck 1-2".

Here is a pic of my truck if it helps:

Are the Lightning wheels still available? Tire Rack had them on closeout a couple of months ago and sold out. Since the Lightning wheels are only 20's, I would go with the Harley wheels. The 22's fill out the huge wheel wells better.

I like the lightning wheels. IF they are in a 22" it will look great against the stripes you have.

22s with stock size Harley tires 275-45-22 won't fill the wheel wells better than the 275-55-20s on Roush wheels.Both tires are 31.8" in diameter.
However the Harley 22s may bling a bit more.

That will work.
I wish I could afford one but my other hotrods won't allow me enough mod money for my truck.

Does anyone have a picure of the lightning wheels on a truck? I would love to actually see them on a truck? Also I thought they are 20's... not 22's

Do they just call them Lightning wheels for name poops and giggles because the Ls never had that style. There were three different styles on the 99-04 model and that is not one of them. They actually look more like the Shelby GT500 wheels.
They would look better in chrome as well I think.

Between the choices, keep your 'stock' Roush wheels!
