Looks like some loud pipes. There is a matching one you can just make out on the driver's side. I wouldn't want to hear a 5.4 fighting to keep an Excursion going though.

I didn't think I'd find a Hensley for under $1000 either and it may be per wheel for these, good deal either way. Some people just don't know what they have. He's checking for center caps and lugs. Will know more later.

I agree, I purchased all 4 of my 2004 18" Lariat wheels for $50. The deals are out there...just have to jump when they show up.

Good luck in your quest.

I found a set of King Ranch wheels with useable tires for $400


Is that a good price?

That's probably always a good price but the real question is what year are the wheels. If they aren't 04, then you'll need spacers.

The ad says they fit 99-2005 F250
I've not contacted the guy yet to see, but they should be the right ones.

That's the confusing part for some. 2000-2005 Excursion and 2000-2004 F250/350 use the same offset. 2005 F250/350 and up have a different offset yet any year wheel will physically bolt on any year truck. 2005 and newer wheels will sit inboard on 2000-2005 Excursion and that's why you need spacers or they will rub the springs at full lock.

Take a look at this thread Josh, it has a decent description of the '04 18"s and some pics to show EXACTLY what the rims need to look like to fit our big wagons correctly.
