That is what i needed to see. That's exactly is what i want mine to look like. Mine is black also and i've never seen them on a truck. Actually i n ever have seen torque thrust 2's on anything. WHAT SIZE ARE THE RIMS AND WHAT SIZE ARE THE TIRE. WHAT IS THE ROLLING DIAMETER OF THE NEW RIMS AND ARE YOUR THRUSTS TOTAL CIRCUMFERENCE LARGER THAN THE STOCKERS? You made my day with this picture!!!
Thanks alot, J-mart
Wheels are 20x10. Tires are Dunlop 9000s, 295/40ZR. Circumference is almost identical to stockers, even though they seem visually larger. Smaller sidewall is the difference. No speedo error. The traction and ride is far superior to the F1s. Be prepared for the +$$$ although, you may be able to get them cheaper in IL. They're manufactured somewhere in Chicagoland, if I'm not mistaken.
Glad I could help.

this wheel is exactly 30lbs and is the lightest 20" that I could find that was a 1 piece forged... I don't think you are going to beat a forged for weight savings...

HRE has a 29ish pound 20x9, but the are $1K a pieces.

These mace rims are about 450 a pop or so....

If anyone else knows of a 20 that is super light and will fit the ford, please post the name...

Ken

SVTRobG,

You're to be congratulated on the job you've done with your truck. Looks great, and tastefully done!
