Im gonna pull the trigger and get new wheels and tires for the truck.

Im stuck though. I cant decide what i want exactly.
I have 2 wheels picked out ive always liked. KMC's xd series Rockstar

and Armour

Rockstars are played out i know. But they look so good. And the Armours... damn theyre gorgeous.

So the dilemma. Which do i get? Do i get 18s or 20s? Do i get black or chrome.
Truck is sitting on a 2.5inch leveling kit in the front, with 3inch blocks in the back.
Its a 5.4, 5 speed, with 3.73 gears


Thanks guys! Love you all

 

Armour

18's

35" rubber


more sidewall is better. No need to go all dub on that nice truck

 

I dont really like either, but the second option would be my choice in no bigger than an 18" wheel

 

Those Armours are cool. I dont think I've seen those. As for size and color

18" wheels and black but I kinda like 18" black wheels. The chrome ones in the pic are cool too IMO.

I've seen the Rock Stars everywhere. I'd go for the unique look.

 

I would also go with the Armours. Everybody and there mothers have the rock stars. I like the ones in the pic, not a fan of all black wheels.

 

Might have a problem.. i think the armours only come in 20s and 22s..

 

If it was my truck I would get black rims.. Right now I have 20s with 35s (came with the truck) and it looks so awesome, but if I was to buy it myself I would probably go with 18s due to price..

Just dont get Rockstars, everyone has those these days..

 

I like the wheels that are on it now. LoL. Of course I like the classic look on trucks.

I thought about changing my rims, but after everything I have read about after market rims, especially those rockstars, cracking. I decided to keep mine stock.

I might go with a Procomp wheel if I really just end up having money to throw away, but that is probably going to be this winter after I have taken the misses on a vacation.

However if you have your mind set, I would go with the Armour ones as well. The Rockstar, like everyone has said, is over used. I think it is to wide of star to put on a regular cab. They are more suited to a bigger, longer truck. Not that yours is small, I just think they will look to chunky on a regular cab.

Just my opinion.

 

Btw, here is a really good thread with nothing but wheels and tires on SD's

Official Aftermarket Wheel/Rim Thread - PowerStrokeNation : Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

That should keep you busy for awhile. LoL

 

^ Nice thanks!
Haha well i went and got prices on some stuff and those armours are out of the question. Too expensive. Plus tires for 20s suck *******.
So looks like im gettin rockstars. No one around my town has em anyways so hey why not?

 

If they are not big in your town go for it, I swear around here they are on 1 out of 10 trucks trucks with aftermarket wheels haha..

Check Craiglist to and see if anyone is selling anything that you like, you can save a TON!

 

I like the Armour's better I don't care for the center cap's on the Rock stars.

 

I like the armours too. But it was just too expensive all around for em. If they came in an 18 i might have done it.

Oh just thought of this. I need steering stabilizers now... lol any suggestions on brand and such?

 

I have the Rancho model, I really like it, but I have different suspension that you..

 

I prefer the 2nd wheel pictured.
