I have been looking around for 20" wheels, but I really don't want crome ones. I found these wheels from OZ Wheels that are pretty cool. Was wondering what everyone else thought about them. Here is a doctored pic with them on my truck.



So what do you guys think.......

Look pretty koool to me. I'd probably would like to see a little more tire, but that's just me. Also Sport Truck mag did a test on 20" tires on a F150 and Expedition.

Chris,
Your truck looks great! MOMO makes some reallly cool wheels in 20" manybe you should check them out. By the way how did you overlay the wheels on your truck. does it require special software. I think this would be a great way to see what my truck would look like before I spend all that money.


Hdlouie,
What issue was that magazine. I have a 97 f-150 Sc 4x4 and would like to put 18" or 20"

 

UCRed,

Thanks for the compliments. I used Paint Shop Pro to edit the photo and put these wheels on my truck in the picture. You can also use Photoshop, PhotoDelux, Correl Draw, or most image editing software.

The Sept. 2000 issue of Truckin' magazine that is on the newstands now has a great wheel and tire guide and the tested 6 different 20" tires on different vehicles. The nitto's came out on top. It has lots of cool info on new rims that are out now too.

 

It does look real nice, but I'd be careful--I've got a friend who put 18's on a Honda, and he's bent all four rims (hitting potholes and bumps) so badly he has to air up every 3 days. And that's with a car that weighs 1/2 what our trucks weigh.

 

Chris,

I noticed you cut the front of your bed rail to accomidate the tonneau. I bought a similar cover recently and was wondering how hard it was and if it was something you did yourself.

No cutting or drilling whatsoever with the ARE cover. It has support rails that just clamp on. The cover is designed to hide the plastic bed caps.

 

Cool, Thanx.
