Billet is stronger and lighter than cast wheels
They should weigh about 35 pounds each,
Cheapest available price for a quality billet wheel
One of the last companies that still mass produce wheels in the USA

You got it Drew, 22" wheels that weight 34 pounds each one !
Light weight guys, that's the lightest 22" wheels on the market today.

We have run Centerlines since 1981 and the wheels and company have always treated us great!

Oh,
On a street car or truck, billet wheels are a pain in the azz to keep clean

Hmmm, 6000lb Mark LT SuperCrew 4x4, and NOW you're concerned about weight.... lol.


Just kiddin' Rafa, I had to put a little jab in there for you, mostly because I am totally jealous about your truck and setup. I'm not crazy about the look of the wheel, but it should give you the strength and quality that you need with all that power. Better invest in some aluminum polish!

I know you have extream power under the hood, but you also have a very good looking truck and nice rims on it as it sits, yes 22's are smaller, light and will most likly give you a better E/T, but you already have ur truck faster then most other 04+ F150 and your truck looks sweet sitting on 24's, its a 5800lb truck and it doesnt need to be sitting on minus 2"s of rim.. but if you still wanna sell the 24's, how much do you want? My Email is Expoondaflo22z@aol.com, if you choose not to list the price on here.. I have 24" Mottos and was looking at a set of 24" Weld Evo Trintonn for a good deal, (both Mottos and Welds are for sell in South Florida) but like your 24's much more..


Go BIG or go home

I tried 305's Khumos and 295's before with the 24" Echelons Korum and with the truck lowered they were touching the rear fender flares when passing for bumps at higher speeds, that's why i chose 285's.

they were hitting the actual flares? must be a different offset then i have mine used to rub the iner fender untill it rubbed a big enough hole in it now i dont hit at all i just hit the bump stop but that rarely happens with my 5" drop because of the coilovers i have back there, i dunno if it were me id be looking at getting the rear end narrowed or have the back of the wheel machined to fit those wheels with a 305

Yes friend, i sold them yesterday. Put them on my driveway with a sign, they didn't last one day.
I didn't know is so easy to sell stuff on the driveway when we leave in a busy road.
