Ok I've narrowed it down to 2 choices:

Pro Comp Xtreme Alloy Series 8179 Black 18x9:


OR

Powdercoated FX4 18" FX4 wheels.....now if I go this route, then I use the extra money I saved to get my bed Line-X'd or even get a tune/CAI.

Paint the spokes on the XLT wheels as I did (later, I added bigger tires), or possibly paint the spokes and the inset. Spend the savings on other mods.







There are a few more pics in my gallery.

I like that look, but there is a local dealership here in S. Georgia that is already doing that, so I've personally seen 4-5 black F-150s with that setup already....that's not even counting the gray or white ones they've done that too as well that I've seen.

I've been able to find those in chrome, but not in black for the bolt pattern I need....

Interesting, mine is the only one I have seen around here. I like the look too, but found a good deal on some Roush wheels, going after them this afternoon. They are my favorite wheel on a black truck.

I like the painted FX4 wheels. I know they're basic, but for some reason, they look good with the BFGs. Probably the most cost effective of the bunch. Just my thoughts.

Yeah the dealership doesn't paint the wheels like yours, but they put on 315 BFGs....looks nice, but just about every other F-150 in town has it done.

I'm leaning more towards the FX4s at this point, just because I can get the bed line-x'd with the money I'd be spending on a whole new combo...

the painted fx4 wheels are a good choice. make sure you get black decal overlays for the ford logo on the center cap
