f150 wheels can't decide

I doing my lift and bought tires, can't decide on wheels

$110 each


$117each


my truck






Can;t decide my friends are about 50/50, which didn't help. Didn't want to go to modern on wheels because truck is 26 years old. Other ideasor wheel pics might help. Try to keep price in mind. And the hubcaps aren't an option. Thanks

I like the second set myself. But that's just me. You should pick whichever one _you_ think will look best.

Another vote for option 2, just make sure you get a wheel with no more than 3.5" backspacing or maybe even a little less depending upon overall wheel width and tire size.

I have both wheels

The Ultras on my ranger. They are about 3 years old with 100k on them and the clear is starting to go on them. The truck is my daily driver and the clear coat is your best bet in the winter climates.

I have the Eagles on my 86. They are a great looking wheel but do take a couple good polishings a year for up keep

They won't see snow or salt, it does snow here but not often. 23 degrees this A.M.
The ultras match the grey ranger real well. Also like the eagles on your other truck. I guess you can see why it was a hard choice.
Thanks for the pics Brad.

Yes, the gray on the wheels is close to the truck. The will be going in the spring in favor of a set of new factory 16s since they offer a better tire selection than the 32" tires on there now

I followed this thread since its inception and checked back tonight. What are the odds the OP is asking about wheels that Brad owns both of? Cool...

Please post a picture of the new wheels on your truck, we love to look!

Pretty good I'd imagine. I think Brad has one of everything.
