Looks great man. I really like the extended cab/short box look.

I have to agree... the platinum wheels look great against the silver (almost as good as against the red, haha). Honestly though, that look is what made me pick silver for my wife's explorer sport.... the black on the sport wheels is very similar to the platinum wheels.

Thanks. Not too many people buy supercabs anymore. I always thought it was the perfect balance of cab to bed when paired with the 6'9" bed. However, with the addition of little miss in late 2012, the back seat is feeling small. It's funny, you'd think small kid = small back seat but with the size of these ridiculous car seats these days it doesn't quite match up that way. I had to take out my rear headrests to get the seat in! Although, I do like it better without them so it was a double plus...

I have a 2 year old son and a 9 month old girl, even the crew cab back seat is starting to fill up fast with everthing that goes with them and the wife.

Ya, I have three kids and my youngest is 2-1/2. I'll be so glad to finally get rid of that last car seat and just have boosters. It's ridiculous how big they are now.

eBay. There are usually a few sets of rims on there. Lots of complete sets with new tires too, but I wanted different rubber so I bought just the rims. The rims alone go from 950-1150 +/- delivered. If you want a complete setup with new tires too they are around 1900-2100. I got mine for $999 shipped.

Cool. Thanks. Truck looks great, BTW. I think those rims will look good with Platinum white too. I'll let you know.

Don't just let us know. Show us and prove it!

I've got a white Platinum, and prefer the wheels from a King Ranch, so I made a trade. A guy with a black KR liked my Platinum wheels, so we made the following deal: we took both trucks to a tire shop, where they swapped wheels between the trucks, and I kept my tires, since they were new and his had noticeable wear. He paid the tire shop, plus paid me $200.
And, I got the wheels I like.

It's all a matter of taste, I guess. A lot of people like the Platinum wheels.

Maybe I missed it but if not would you post a pic of your truck with the KR wheels on it. My buddy is trading his 2012 F250 KR for a 2014 white Platinum F250. He is wanting to swap wheels like you did.. Thanks
