These Rims are very unique looking and are extreemely high quality Forged Polished ALCOA RIMS, made for FORD! I have never seen a "Lariat" with these rims at all, or any other truck for that matter!.......Should be in at Tasca any day now! Can't wait!........
I don't put Junk on my truck, only High quality stuff!.......

 

Here's my $.02. I've never seen those wheels before and they might look ok but I would have to see them on a truck first. Second if they are oem wheels I wouldn't bother taking them off in the winter. Usually the oem wheels are durable enough to handle salty roads. Hopefully they come with some kind of warranty.

You might want to check cooper zeon ltz tires. I've never driven on a set personally but have heard good things about them and the price isn't too bad depending on size.

Not junkin your truck at all, hell, I got the same one as you in black. However, you could find a set of Ford OEM 20" wheels on Craigslist for about a quarter of what your paying for those. Not too mention you could run them year round. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Here a picture of what the 20" OEM look like, they aren't too different from your choice:

For what your paying for those rims with the crappy Pirelli's you could get some really nice looking polished chrome 20's with good tires and really change the look and performance of your truck. Especially if all your gonna just switch them out with the stock wheels in the winter like I do. I got Black Rhino Congo 22's and Yokohama Parada's for about $2300 with free mounting, free balancing, free flat tire repair, and free front end alignement. Just my two cents. Good luck anyways!

 

My Rims came in today at Tasca Ford..www.tascafordparts.com All I can say is that when myself & Domenic from Tasca, opened up one of the boxes
my lower jaw dropped! These Rims are absolutely fanstasic looking, the Highly Polished finish is amazing! They have a stamp on the lower/outer edge saying ALCOA FORGED. I am very happy with these Rims, & have an appointment tommorrow at Tire Pros to have the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's mounted. I'm going with the Scorpions, for the price I'm getting them for installed, you can't go wrong! I'll get at least 30K out of these tires easy if not more! The fact that these rims have a BLUE OVAL in the middle make me like them even more! I had to purchase a TPMS with sensor kit from FORD to install on the Rims too!
All together with sales tax the Rims, & TPMS kit,& sensors, run me $1,969.36
So the price of the Pirelli's was a huge factor! I'll post some pics up tommorrow for you all to see!.............Oh Yes, Domenic at TASCA is a cool dude to deal with! Hats off to him for making this purchase happen!......

 

lets see some pics

 

not reading this whole thread, but a local ford dealership sells the stock pirellis for $175 for 2.

 

Tommorrow.......

 

im intrigued, looking forward to pics... I really like the look of the 285's on the factory 17's on your truck

 

This thread delivers.

Good one.

i'm thinking if u can get an aftermarket wheels not OEM with that kind of money.. i mean a better ones for the same price

 

Should look good If you like them thats all that matters, and its your money spend it how you want....right?!

 

Your absolutely right! My $$$, my truck! (LOL)....seriously though the quality of these ALCOA rims are incredible! I am quite impressed!.......
They are going on later today!
