Need suggestions on some new rims
Im in the process of shopping for some rims and tires. Im gettin some 305/70R16's tires and need some help on rims. Ive been looking at the Centerlines and they look pretty nice. I need some suggestions about brands and styles. Also pics would be very helpful. Thanks a lot.

Personally I think that the Weld Super-Single II looks pretty cool on the 97 and newer f-150s, especially with BFG muds on them. http://www.weldracing.com/SSII.html

Don't get American Racing polished aluminum (unless you want to spend a lot of time polishing them). I found out the hard way (as usual).

Bud Man,
As a less than happy owner of Centerline Wheels, I recommend anything but them. The chrome on my wheels is poor at best. We, the dealer and I, went through a bunch of wheels before I finally gave-up and tooks some less than perfect wheels.
They do look great, until you get up close!
Good Luck,

Powerstroke73 has good taste, I have the Weld Super Single II's, w/ BFG muds and it's an awesome setup.

I have the Centerline "Rattler" wheels 16/8. With Goodyear 305/70/16's. I have read posts where guys are not happy with the Centerlines. I haven't had any problams with mine. I've also read about problems with, balancing and wet weather traction with the Goodyears. So far so good. heres a picture of my set up anyway.
