I have to say that I will *NEVER* buy aftermarket rims again unless they are of the OEM type (IE: 2000 Cobra R's made by/for Ford).
I had a set of TRW's on a Thunderbird when a curb jumped out in front of me one day and it left the car sitting in my driveway for the next three months.
As it turns out, even though the rims were only about 18 months old (and a new model at that - "Blades") TRW had discontinued them.
It took me that long to find a new one-- when I finially got it the guy told me this is the LAST ONE IN NORTH AMERICA and THANK GOD it was a "blank" and could be drilled for my 4.25 pattern.
No matter how nice, and after that kind of cash outlay, I will never put myself behind that 8-ball again.
IMHO of course.

The 22's look sweet, if you don't plan to lower it in the front, but honestly, I think they are too big on the F-150. They fit the size and opening of an Excursion much better. My buddy has a set on his 02 Yukon XL, and they fill the gap much better than the 20's I have on my wifes 02 Yukon XL.
I say if you want something different, just change to another style of 20" wheel. Save the stockers from curb rash...

I had the same problem before with aftermarket wheels.
I ended up buying a cheap set of wheels and selling the vehicle.
The aftermarket does not care about supplying replacement and has lost a customer to any and all aftermarket sales. shoot I even owned a speed shop at one time supplying aftermarket products. Its now original equipment or nothing,
By the way
My 2000 H-D bed cover maybe a hassle to replace if it was to ever become damaged as I understand they are hard to come by replacements

a bud of mine has 22" gold daytons on his harley supercrew. IT looks really nice. IF your truck is lowered that much though(picture), i'd stick to 20's. I personally think 22's look the best on something higher (4wd). and if ya need someone to give those 22's to, ill take em

Thats not true, only if you buy cheap wheels like TSW's they are just a massed produced wheel manufacturer......A friend of mine with 20" Billet Speciality wheels nailed a pot hole and bent a wheel so bad that it woulndt even hold air. He send the wheel back to the Manufacturer and they "rehooped" it, basically, they take the center part out of the weel and put it into a new barrel with the same backspacing....I realize that you cant do this with a cast wheel like the TSW's yuou had but inthe Aftermarket they will do anything for a price, you just have to know the right people or have alot of money.

justy3099, post pics of that if you can.
Anyway, blowfish, i'd definately say DON"T DO IT!!!. 1st off, those tires are huge, looks bigger than the stock ones referring to sidewall. At least stay with lower profile. Also, the rims make the truck. You change the rims, you ruin the truck IMO. I'm not trying to start a flame here, it would still look cool, but i think the stock ones look better on the HD's, and from my viewpoint, the rims are the main thing that people can identify the truck as a HD f150. Go putting on different rims, and people will start to think you have a knock off if they don't know what to look at to see its authentic. If i would ever consider different rims, it would be 22" HD rims and no other, but i like the looks of the 20's because people go putting 24" rims on a car with 6" brake discs and it looks dumb as all hell. Again, no flame or insults here, just my opinion, it would still look cool, but the stock ones look better IMO. Everything on the truck is special, why go changing the biggest thing that makes this truck what it is.
o yeah, BTW, on the other site i saw a HD with 23's. Looks weird IMO
