New look for my truck - opinions welcome

So over the past couple of weeks I've asked for opinions about moving from my Foose wheels to Roush wheels. I also sought advice on the removal of some door sized company/balloon team decals from the suicide doors. Well today it all came together.... decals gone, new Roush wheels (to go along with the Roush grilles - upper and lower - rear spoiler and stripes) and new tires - Hankook RH06's at 275/55/20. Same size as the previous Pirellis.

Personally I think it's a much cleaner look - and it may be just me but the Roush wheels seem to have more offset cause the tires and wheels seem to stick out a shade further, giving the truck a sportier stance.

Anyway, I like it what about the rest of you?

Here's Before:



Now here's after:

Looks great! Where did you get the Roush wheels? I know they are an arm and a leg new. I think I will be searching for a used set locally come summer time.

I think it looks better. I like it without the stickers and with the Roush wheels. Good work.

I like the Roush rims, the Foose rims always looked odd to me. Looks good.

I found em used on Craig's List - you're right, new they're just short of a new born child!

But if you look long and hard, used sets do pop up - I just missed a set in West TX for a mere $300 - sold a day before I called. Found another set in Houston for $600. Got these from Detroit for $750 shipped.

So just look when you get ready. You can find em.

And yes, I'm gonna tint the windows, hey, It's only money!

Thanks Bud. It is the only wheel that I want after seeing them for a while. No other wheel gives me that "right" feeling.

Looks great I'd lose the taillights though. If I get a 2nd f150 4x2 those will be the wheels I get
