New shoes for my truck

After a ton of looking around and pricing wheels and tires out, i finally called up my local tire shop and they quoted me a price that was better than the deals i was finding online. I paid cash and they lowered it even more. I am the proud owner of 20" Ballistic Jester wheels on Procomp Xtreme's 305/55/20I plan on painting the silver caps around the wheel black within the next few days, but wanted to toss some pics up for the meantime

PS...shes dirty so be nice!

That looks sick. Hold off on the painting and see if the look grows on you. Also I think you need a little bit of red on the front of the truck somewhere to tie it all in. Maybe a red ford emblem from patriot decals, or red tow hooks, or a little red in the F-150 badges.

Also what are your lift and wheel specs? Any rubbing or trimming?

I was planning on taking the red off too, i've read that its possible to do without messing up the rims. Ill give your suggestion a try as far as holding off on painting the outer caps. I was going to black out the tail-lights and remove the FX4 sticker so the red wouldnt work anyway.

I have a 3" PA leveling kit and thats it...no rubbing, but im expecting some at full lock when going into a drive way. The trimming would be very minimal, the shop said to bring it by if i have any issues.

These are a pretty nice rim. Theres a guy at work that has these rims but in the chrome version on his duramax.
One word of caution on his rims the next day he had a bunch of loose lug nuts. By the time he got to work and parked one had fallen off and was sitting right next to where he parked it. I don't know if it was the installer who torqued the lug nuts or if its with the wheels. But to be safe it wouldn't hurt to recheck the torque on them.

Tires are pretty smooth on the road, but the ride is def. more stiff now but i was used to it from my old truck.

The deal was $2000 OTD...i looked at buying from rimzoneonline.com and they were a couple hundred more and NEVER returned one of my emails

Always recheck the lugnut torque on new wheels. Sometimes it take a while for the lugs to seat.
