Thank you! They're my favorite OE wheel for the trucks.
True enough! I curse it when I have to crawl around on the ground though. 
Thanks for the compliment. If it can conjure some sold-excursion-regret then I'd say job well done.
Thanks! Yes the inspiration for mine uses color matched bumpers and black wheels and looks great. I agree, I think with the wheels right now the chrome is balanced and it works. I was thinking of doing a translucent black powdercoat on these wheels but now I don't know.
Thank you!

Here's a link to mine. There are various similar models by a few different manufacturers but this should get you started.

The harder part is the adhesive. I used an adhesive eraser wheel on a drill to pull that off, then a rub down with goo gone, and finally buffing to clean the paint. That white process took about 10 hours but I'm just a Joe in a garage.

If you don't mind, what are the exact specs on the wheel and spacers?
Year, model, parts numbers which vendor...
I'm going round and round on trying get specifics on what I want to do and your setup looks perfect.
Your rig looks great.

These are OEM 20" wheels used on F-series from 2011 until I think 2016, maybe only 2015.
They are 20x8 with a 40mm offset.
The spacers are hubcentric 2" thick. These are made my "Street Dirt Track" aka "SDT", which can be found on ebay. I do *not* recommend these spacers without first seeing the work involved to make them fit on the rear. Here is a post I made discussing them. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16859626
In that same thread someone else comments that BORA makes the same thing, but they fit all around no problem. So SDT are cheaper and need some work, or BORA is some more money but doesn't need work (allegedly).
Another option is WheelAdapter.com is your number one source for wheel adapters, wheel spacers, used wheels, and wheel studs. and they come very highly regarded with plenty of people saying they just go on without problems, they are steel instead of aluminum, and they aren't cheap. Pick your poison.
The tires are factory late model F-series tires, 275/65r20
The suspension is X/modded C springs from ATS, with SDT 2" drop shackles in the front to bring the nose up some.

Thank you for the info.
Again, your EX looks awesome.
