Poll! Wheel suggestion

I have a 2000 f250, I am going with a 4 inch bds or zone lift kit, now time to decide rims. I really like both the moto metal 962 20x9 in chrome or the gear alloy 726 20x10 in chrome on a 35 tire. Which one do you all suggest. Id probably only run these in the summer, crappy chicago winters. I dont know how to change the poll to add the stock wheels.



moto metal


gear alloy


OR 08+ stock chrome wheels

Your truck looks really clean. keep it up...
Watch out with chrome plating on wheels in Chicago winters, If the chrome peels between the lip of the wheel and the tire you could have a air leak. They use way to much salt in this State "Illinois".
They both look good to me....
Also make sure that the weight rating is good to go. Also go with E-rated Tires.

Ya thats what Im worried about, Id only probably run these in the summer and the tires on my truck now in the winter since those are brand new but stock size.
How do I find the weight rating with those? Thats also the plan, I want goodyear duratrac tire.

Wheel ratings should be on their site, some wheels are stamped. My wheels are Pro Comp rated at 3500lbs Each, my tires 35x1250x18 are rated at 3415lbs at 65psi each.
What size tire are you going to use....I think most Duratracs are D-rated.

Yea -19 to -24 was what I was told works on ours for 20x10. The ones I have I think are -24, but their records when purchased say -19. To bad the ones you gaveoptions are aren't the ones I have. I'm selling mine since I will never use them.

The 961 that have either the chrome or red insert option.



These but 20x10. The chrome inserts look much better.

I prefer the Gear or stock wheels over the Moto Metal. If you run the stock '08 20's you will need to run spacers as well. I've seen people running without them, but it looks like a railroad truck. The '08 wheels would probably hold up better in winter as well.
