Wheel help???

I just recently traded my 2005 f150 for a black 2010 4x2 lariat plus f150. I am wanting to get some 22s and am not sure which ones i should get or if anyone has any other option i might like? I am debating over the kmc slides, mamba m1, xd series hoss, or possibly akuza 437-OJ. I think i am leaning towards the 22 inch mamba m1s. Not too many people have them and its just something different i guess, not to mention they are sick. I am leaning toward chrome or alloy/black mixture but am still considering black. I just wanted to get a bunch of peoples opinions on which wheel and what finish. Please give me some opinions! Thanks

Depending on what your looking at. the KMC Slide in a 22x9.5 with the 38mm offset will work with no problems at all. If you select the 15mm offset, it will stick out past the fenders and might require a little modification.

The Mamba M1 in a 22x9.5 with a 35mm offset will work just fine and no fitment issues,

The XD Hoss I show to only be available in a 20x9 with a -12mm offset and will require a leveling kit in the front for clearance.

Let me know if you have any questions.

im definately a big fan of the slides but the picture of them above is of the fwd slides, or slides for a car, the rwd slides, for trucks and suvs, has a smaller center and in my opinion look better just my opinion! heres a comparison of the two:

ok well the hosses are definitely out if they dont come in 22s for the f150. i love the slides but one of my good friends actually has them and i live in college station going to a&m and it seems like a TON of kids have them here. I always want my truck to be different from the rest so ill probably end up going with the 22 inch mamba m1s since i have literally never seen anyone with them. I also kinda wanted to go with something other than all black. Probably leaning toward either a mixture or all chrome. Anyone know of any other sick wheels with a 22 inch option with around a +35mm offset?? And whats a good road tire for a decent price?? Thanks!

well the slides do come in chrome but you should consider the helo he835's: http://www.rimexperts.com/items_imag...2HElo835-B.jpg

i have a picture of them on a 250 and they look amazing and i would post it except im on my roomates laptop and its saved to my computer at home. idk what color your truck is but the 250 is white and they look awesome on it.

My truck is black. The helos are pretty sick but i think i still like the mamba m1s over those. I cant decide if the slides would look good in chrome or not. Ive never really seen them on a truck.

ya i've never seen the slides in chrome in person but if i had the money i woulda went with them but they were just too much. but then again if you've never seen them in chrome then you know your tuck will be different.
