New pics with Harley wheels

I don't usually post pics and my truck has had the same minor visual mods for like 4 years now. But I came across a great deal on craigslist for some 2006 22" Harley rims with brand new Kumho Ecsta STX 305/40/22 tires that I couldn't pass up. I wish they were the 2007 rim version with the dark grey inserts to match my truck, but I'll take these for now. I'm only going to run them for a month or two until winter comes. The guy is still trying to find the center caps but I don't care I'm using the FX4 center caps for now.

I also put on some FX2 painted dark shadow grey step bars that I bought from a F150online member. My original black bars were starting to rust after 4 years. My short wife needs them getting in!

I'd like to get PTM handles and maybe a painted black or dark grey Roush grille but I plan on getting a 2010 F150 w/Ecoboost so why spend any more money on this truck.

BTW, I've had my truck since April 2004 and it currently has 33k miles, daily driven (only 3 mile work commute).

Check it out:

I think the wheels compliment the truck nicely -

Nice clean looking truck.

those look really good.

i wish the craigslist for my area had better finds... all i ever seem to find is a few p.o.s. bed caps that aren't labeled right, or maybe some random junk for older models... that's it.

The wheels really look nice on the truck and the center caps are really not noticable, they actually look ok with them rims. My boy has a grey 05 Flareside with the Harley rims and it looks great.

I think this was only the second set of Harley rims I found on Pittsburgh craigslist in the past 2 years, and I check somewhat regularly on there. I don't see many Harley trucks rolling around here.

The HD rims look great on your truck. I like the center caps you have now, the HD ones are kind of gaudy.

Thanks guys. Just an update:

- the guy never found the Harley center caps. I don't think he ever had them to begin with. The guy I bought them from runs a custom car shop and someone else upgraded to 24's on their Harley truck and he had these 22's leftover at his shop. I still don't care, I got a great deal on them.

- the wheels are off the truck now for winter. The wheels are heavy which slightly effects braking and accelerating. I didn't see much of a drop in MPG's, but after putting my stock wheels back on, I noticed the truck rolls/coasts along much easier.
