Wheels?
I was wondering if anyone knows of any black colored wheels that will fit my 2003 F-250. I have seen that new American Racing teflon wheel, and thats it. I want an alloy wheel not one of those steel ones. any help would be nice.

Tuff call.
I got an o4 a few months back and the 1st thing i wanted to do was some clean black wheels.
So i hunted high and low and basically what i found was not much.
Finding 16x8 , 8 lug on 170 and black wheels i found the common ARE Black widow type wheel(pass), a Crager type that is called street locker and is a faux rim-locker lokking wheel with the bolts on the outside lip.
These 2 rim types are steel.
Then i found lots of good looking wheels but not available in black.
That would mean buying new rims and then paying to strip them and powdercoat black(approximately a $70 a wheel to strip and re-finish).
I really wanted some trick OZ wheels (black) like on the Oakely concept truck but alas, my wallet ain't that heavy.
I bought the street-lockers for$600 installed ,centercaps on upgraded yet stock 265 Pirelli and they look good but not "great".
Recently saw em on www.4wheelparts.com for about $400 rims only.
Lastly, if you want some 17" black rims then good luck, cuz i never could find any.
I'll try to post pics when i go back home but it migt be a few weeks.
Good luck

I went out and bought a set of stock wheels from a guy for $200.I had them powder-coated black for $180. I painted hubs and lug nuts to match $10. They look great and they are high quality. Total cash out of pocket $390. I have pictures if you are interested in seeing what they look like.

I neglected to mention that I sent the rims off the Champion Wheel and had beadlocks welded on before they were powder coated. I will try to post links to the pictures. I should also mention that they were very dirty when I took the pictures, I had just finished mounting the tires to the rims.
