New wheels for my truck

Buy some real wheels for a nice truck, not black wheels on a gold truck unless you want to look like your 16.

lets hear your definition of "real" wheels

They are decent enough looking rims but a little cliche, every other truck is running around with that exact same setup.

 

Your righ, but can't help the fact they look good on a trucks/Suv.

 

I may get some different ones when I get new tires, but who knows...need bigger tires!! 37's aren't cutting it anymore

Pretty sure I could, those cheap ebay rims stand out for all the wrong reasons.

too much scrapin without cuttin

I ran 315's on 24"s with no rubbing. The 315 has a good bit of meat on them, not rubber bands at all. Mine was a 2007 F150 though. Dunno if the wheel well changed or not.

Seriously those cheap rims finish ***** the curves and edges just don't look right. There is a reason they sell so cheap.

All stock except my 91 lesabre it rolls on 17's, of course the car and the rims were free.

iv'e seen very legit replicas from them. of course they will be cheaper. they are replicas on ebay. not Ford pricing.

Every time I have seen a set of rims that to me just looked "off" I've always said "sweet rims, where did you get them?" and so far out of about a dozen rims they have all said ebay. I know it is a small sample but like I said every set I thought looked "wrong" that's where they came from.

There are legit knock offs made by legit companies, I would call these a knock off of a knock off.

To OP, I guess the thing I would tell you is to do what you like, not what anyone else says. It is your truck it don't matter what others think of it. My opinion is that rims should accent a vehicle not be the entire focus, and I would be leery of knock off rims from ebay. That's my 2 cents which isn't worth nothin really.

I'm not really the type of person to put wheels on a truck or suv, but if I did I would personally go with something similar to these styles, I don't know anything about these in particular brands though

Go with machined wheels with some black in them. My car is almost the same color as yours, and I just don't think black will look right. All chrome would look cheesey as well. Black and chrome maybe, but definitely machine and black all day
