I like them and I think it's the only wheel I'd consider as a replacement wheel in place of the standard Ex wheel.

It's important to note, there are a few variations of this wheel. There's the King Ranch version, like Tom has, and then there's the Harley version. The Harley version has extra bar things cast into the wheel for appearance, as well as a Harley logo, that the KR don't. I also understand there are polished and matte versions of both as well.
Thanks for the info . I have a ton of room . I recently put Bilstien"s all the way around and it really lifted it up on my truck since mine were original .

No problem.
I think one of the real issues I'm having is my old super duty and my Ex always had white letter tires so going to black wall which is what I may do is a BIG difference .

OK, second dumb question. What other year models, besides the 2004 18" F250 wheels will be a direct fit on the Excursion?

The '04 Superduty 18"s discussed above are the only plus sized rims from the Superduty family prior to the '05 coil spring front changes, all the '05 and up wheels will need $pacer$ to fit correctly.
