These seem to be the closest I can get to finding a set of wheels that I like. Seems the price could be lower?

They should be properly off set?

Y'all think they would look okay on my black truck?

I think they are a fantastic looking wheel! No question about it. The price is fair for my neck of the woods, but I guess cash is king. Wave him your offer in cash and he might take whatever you offer. I don't see the specific off set, but they appear to fit his truck and older SuperDuty trucks. I see no reason why they wouldn't fit yours.

Andre! I'm so glad you were able to look. Your opinion means a lot.

I've always liked those pre-2008 five spokes.

From this same C/L

I don't think you liked these though

Then you can add your favorite tires.

I think those are the laminated wheels. The Alcoa ones are not laminated. They are strong wheels from what I've experienced and heard from others. They really hold up well which is part of the reason the price is a bit higher.

Bruce, yep. I'm still angry about the plastic chrome, I hate it. Brake dust has already pitted the surfaces.

I believe 99-07 wheel offset was different than 08+. I sold my '14 wheels to a friend, they were inset deep into the fenders on his 2000 and looked funny. Going the other way (older wheels on newer truck) I would think they would stick out more than stock but probably be OK.
I would ask seller to measure backspace and compare to what you have.

Offset was changed in 2005 when they changed to the coil spring front suspension. Axel length is different IIRC.

And to the original question, I think those wheels will look great on a black truck.

Everything I've seen for current bolt pattern is 8x170. If it's different then there are issues with web sites like auto anything and tire rack.

I just spent all last week in Miami but didn't want to fool with this while I was working. I'll be in Tallahassee and Panama City next week.

Those wheels look absolutely fantastic!!! My older 2007 F-250 that I bought used in September of 2011 came originally equipped with the 17" phone dial rims with LT265/70R17 tires. After driving around the first couple of years with wheels I thought were small for the size of truck it was, I opted to switch to set of 20s that a fellow member here managed to score for me off CL. When I sold it and ordered my '16, I was definitely sure to order it with the optional 20s to ensure I got the best possible wheel/tire combo despite the $2320 premium!!! I must admit though, I really miss the five spoke rims on my old 2007 which unfortunately is unavailable on the 2008 and up trucks. Here is what both my old and new truck looked like:

Furthermore, that price sounds more than reasonable. The cost of four LT275/65R20 tires of any brand alone will set you back that much money, never mind the cost of those rims.

All I know is I see an 05-07 truck frequently that has the platinum wheels from a 13+ truck on it.

I've also seen the 18" 11-current lariat wheels on an 05-07.
