I have run across several wheels I would really like if they didn’t have the dang “milled” fake allen heads all over them on WheelPros. Would it kill these companies to make some wheels without all that garbage? I looked at them for 4 hours last night and found three decent looking wheels without the fake beadlock or fake allens all over them. It’s a shame! I may have to get that custom shop to build me some from scratch.

I am a bit biased, but I prefer the stock look without really being stock.

Here is my Ex with 20” super duty wheels. Of course you need to run spacers or swap axles, but with quality spacers I tow heavy (10,000#) and have never had an issue.

Wheels are really a personal choice. If you happy, who really cares what others think about it.

Good luck.

I like the Superduty wheels but I’m going to gain 4” of lift with my springs and need some width to make up for it. I really like the Harley Davidson SD wheel design but they aren’t wide enough for 35x12.50’s.

If you haven't already, I would encourage you to find a local shop that has some on display. I know I had seen some online that I was didn't think I would like. In person, it was a different story. I ended up buying a set only by seeing them online and absolutely love them in person and on the EX. I feel your pain by trying to find the perfect wheel. I thought I had found my rim and waited a month before having to pick another out because the manufacturer only had 3 and didn't have a date when they would be making more. Good luck
