I would chose the stock wheels over either of those... They just look better, and "blend" with the truck more.
The only aftermarket rims that look good on the Lightning, in my opinion, are the 20' replicas, torq thrust, and the boyd smoothies...

Neither. I prefer stock over both of those too.

You realize that you have them backwards, right? The Akuza pic is actually the MB Motoring and vice versa. Does anyone wish to change his vote?

As for me, I would go for the Akuzas, but in silver paint. Chrome is too ghetto for this boy's taste.

I think the MB Motoring's are just about perfect, but the pointless detail around the center cap makes them look cheap.

Why in the world is it so hard to get a sporty--not ghetto--set of wheels for an F150?

BTW, the Velocities are 18X8.5 and the Flashes are 18X9.

FUGLY....


Go for some 20" Replicas...I agree with whoever said that

There are some pics somewhere on the board of a red L with 20" replicas or you can check ebay...

Thanks for all the replies. No, I don't want 20" Chrome Reps, for the same reason I didn't want Chrome Cobra R's on my Mustang. Everyone has them, they aren't original, and for that kind of money, I want a better quality rim.

Thanks again. I have made up my mind. Later.

Yup. And the 20" reps are ridiculously heavy. However, having said that, the rear axle alone weighs a couple of hundred pounds, so what's another 40?
