Wheel selection, have it narrowed down to 4 rims

My FX4 is about 3 weeks from delivery, so it is time to get the rims on order. I have it narrowed down to 4 choices. Let me know which one you like best. The Boss rim is the one I'm leaning towards (and the only one that would let me copy the picture). It is also a little less than the Gitano's and Brazini.

This will be going on a bright red clearcoat FX4 with a 3" rear and 2" up front handling/lowering kit.

Boss 109:


Gitano G9
Gitano G14
Brazini-6

Any other suggestions?

I think the Brazini 6's are killer, I would go with those. Bet its hard to wait for the nice new truck, huh?

Of the four, I like the boss better. However, I think they look a little too smooth for an FX4...just my 2 cents.

I'm going with Zora 951C on my Lariat with 305/55-R20s Nittos. The tires are already mounted on the wheels...just waiting for the truck to arrive. You can get the Zora in a 22 as well.

Something keeps drawing me back to those Brazini's, but they didn't jump out at me in the beginning. I might try to photo chop them on a similar truck to see what they would look like. They are definately unique, which is what I'm going for. I'll have to see what the boss thinks.

I've scratched the G14's off the list, not sure what I was thinking with those.

Those Zora's are a little too busy for me. Maybe that is why I'm hesitant with the Brazini's. I like a little more streamline wheel with smaller center caps. I've probaby looked over 200 different styles of rims just trying to find something that appeals to me.

Thanks for the input.

I plan to order the rims and tires next week, and the Boss rims are the ones that keep catching my eye the most. I'm fairly certain that is what I will go with.

Thanks for the input!

Well, the Boss rims are a bit more than I expected. They are going to tack on an extra $200-$250 for shipping which I didn't realize. I found the Gitano G9's for a couple hundred less on another site, so they will end up being about $300 cheaper than the Boss rims. The G9's were the first to catch my eye, but the extra couple hundred kept me going back to the Boss. I think now my mind is made up and the G9's will be the new rims.

Now if that damn truck would just get here!

Shop like crazy for those rims, vegastrac!

I picked up some 22" American Racing Equipment "Magnets" for my soon-to-arrive F-150, and I found the best price at a local Discount Tire store. They were over $100.00 cheaper per rim than the best deal I could find on the internet!
