STX or Chrome XLT wheels..opinions please?
Ordered my new Firestone Destination 285/70R17 ATs today from tire rack..My 05 F-150 STX SC Truck has 31,000 pampered miles and TWO of the OEM general ameritrac tires are shot(cords broken)..
truck came with oem stx wheels but i bought oem chrome xlt rims on ebay in 07..
Anywho which wheels will look better to you when i mount tires ? My profile pic shows orginal stx wheel in front propped up, but the rear is what is on the truck now,the xlt chrome ones..Any opinions please??

From a non-looks standpoint, the chrome wheels will kill your brakes faster because they dissipate heat much worse than the aluminum only ones. I actually looked for a truck without chrome wheels for that very reason. When you're stopping 6000+ pounds any little bit helps (and I've seen/heard numerous reports of it being far more than a little bit).
