Help me decide which is the better OEM 20" wheel

I've narrowed it down to these two. What do y'all think?

This '06-'08 FX2/FX4??:




Or this '09:



Ya, it needs lowering But wheels/tires are first.

The '09 20"s are actually starting to grow on me. The old ones look sick if they are partially painted black.

Either one, both look really nice The 09 might update the look of your truck a bit more; something different than what most people have.

I have the 06 20's, but I like the 09's better. I hated those damn Pirelli's though so I got rid of them.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I'm now leaning towards the '09 wheels only, and get brand new tires. I was going to go for a slightly used set of '06-'08 with the Pirellis. But after hearing tons of comments about how crappy the tires are, I'm getting cold feet. Although it seems there are better deals with wheel and tire vs just wheels. Ford uses the Pirelli tire exclusively it seems. The Pirellis are extremely cheap, they can be bought for less than $140 each 275/55-20. I remember when Pirellis were a very expensive tire, I don't know what happened in the last 20 years or so. Maybe they're made in China

One big disappointment is that all of the commercial sellers on eBay at least, remove the TPM sensors to sell separately. Imo, its bad business to do that, they should be sold with the sensors intact. But its all about maximum profit I suppose.
