I am leaning towards 20's but they also offer them in 18's... I will just have to wait and see if it is something that I decide to pull the trigger on in the next month or so...

They look beefy and the color compliments your rig! I'm an 18" fan, I like more sidewall on a 4X4 truck.

I understand your parking situation, luckily i have more room for parking then most small car lots. Since getting my F-150 selling the Ex crossed my mind once, it was quickly dismissed. I already sold one Ex and regretted it like no other. So for now i'm going to hold on to mine for as long as it keep me happy and that's not showing any sign of slowing.

Those look really great, I would definitely go with something like that

Those will look great on your X. They kind of remind of the 18'' Harley wheels in a way. Can't go wrong with either 20's or 18's

Ordered an outside door handle, thanks to the red-letter-dictator.

Thank you Stewart.

They are such a new design, there is still little information out there about them. From the look at the picture, it seems like they could be. I hope to find out more about them as they get closer to being released to the public.

Here are the general details about the wheels (at least for the 20x9's):

Brand: Fuel
Model: Beast
Model Other: D564
Color: Black Flake
Colorlong: Black with Machined Spoke Faces and Dark Tint
Backspacing: 5
Offset: 1
Size: 20x9
Hubbore: 125.10
Loadrating: 3500
Wheel Exposed Lugs: Yes
Wheel Material: Alloy
Wheel Structure: One Piece
Wheel Spoke Number: 6
Wheel Style: No
Bolt Patterns: 5x5 5x5.5 6x135 6x5.5 8x170 8x180 8x6.5

I also photoshopped them onto a set of Fuel tires, and IMO, the Combo looks AMAZING!
