What do y'all think of these rims?




I hate the 'bling bling' overdone appearance most chrome rims have, but these look pretty tasteful. I'd be getting them in 20"s.

those don't look too bad, I agree about the bling bling idea.

Yeah, I dunno. I think simple 5-spokes look best on the Ford SUVs/trucks... most of the aftermarket rims I've seen look like complete ***... 30987spokes, too chrome; basically just as tacky looking as possible (I guess for the attention?)

I think these are nice and simple.


Clonetek-- I should pose on the truck. I've posed on Mustangs and F-bodies. Might as well add F-150s to my repertoire.

Sarah,

Simple , great discription better than mine ! I bought new rims to make my truck stand out , maybe to much for some people but I get complements all the time . I just can't see spending big bucks for something that look like they might have been pulloffs from a Lightning .

Thumbs down

Your truck is a 4x4, make it look and act like a 4x4 with the correct wheel/tire combo. Try some less "bling bling" (jeez i feel like im at work in the ghetto) and try a 16 or 17 inch wheel with more tire sidewall, i like the BFG AT or MT's, then you will have a 4x4 truck, not some goofy lookin' too much fender well showin' 2x4 wannabe thing-a-ma-jiga.

Just my opinion...

regards,

medic

Heh. I actually chose those because they were not 'bling bling.' I'd hate to see what your definition of simple is.

I believe the stock rim size on there now is 17", and that's frankly too small for me. I don't want to go as large as 22"s, but 19-20" should look decent.

I don't take my truck off-roading. It's in the mountains occasionally for skiing, and I can get decent all-season tires that wil fit on those rims (I will miss my BFGoodrich All-Terrain TA/KOs though.)

Different folks, different strokes.

Nemo-- is that your truck (with said rims) in your sig? Look like my stockers.

Sarah,

If your stockers look like these I think you should keep them .
