Well, i think you know how I feel about your mods, but I must admit, those wheels do look real sharp. Really like em. I agree, on some meaty 35" or bigger tires they'd look damn sexy. Good job copper ! 
Maybe a leveling kit and bigger tires once those new ones wear ?

Very nice choice risupercrewman!
Do you ever have anything nice to say? Do you even own a Ford? They are forged Alcoa wheels and they are higher quality than most of the aftermarket cast aluminum crap that people tend to put on these trucks. I wouldn't even trust a lot of the cast aluminum aftermarket wheels that people are selling these days. My stock rims are forged aluminum as well, and I have yet to find an aftermarket whell that I like as much. Why don't you go troll around over at the Nissan message board?

I just read this thread. And something is off. risupercrewman, who are working for? Alcoa? I mean every post is just to happy go lucky. You ignore every negative post, and the ones you do repsond to, you spin them. Name dropping here and there. If you are for real, i hope you like your purchase but you over paid for a wheel that looks stock.

Just found this post and thought I'd add my .02! lol I have these same rims on my truck. From what I know about them they were an optional upgrade OEM from Ford but for whatever reason they never ended up on many trucks? I have only seen one other set here in the Memphis, TN area. They are a flangless style polished aluminum not chrome or clearcoat. A little elbow grease really can make them pop. I had seen them in the accessories catalog as well but found mine on ebay from a Ford dealer in FL. Guess I was just in the right place at the right time on a no reserve auction because I got the brand new set still in original boxes with all paperwork and center caps for $675 shipped! They have been sitting in the boxes in my shop for the last couple of years. I was waiting for an AT tire I liked and could afford. Finally found out about the Cooper Zeon LTZ and got them put on about a month ago. IMO these wheels are some of the sharpest factory productions out there. I get lots of compliments on them and inqusitive looks from other F150 owners wondering what they are. The depth of shine doesn't seem to really pick up in pictures.

Besides the fact they freakin suck in the rain. I barely touch the throttle on my Screw and it wants to come around with those tires on it.

BTW...I love wheels with that type of finish. My stock rims are not Alcoa, but they are forged aluminum and they don't have a clear coat, so they can easily be polished up really nice.

That setup looks awesome. Those Cooper Zeon LTZ tires sure do look like the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's. I had to look twice because I thought they were. BTW...I love wheels with that type of finish.
