I have seen ones a while ago it looked awesome! you could search for it black rims w/ truck in 2004/05 or post it like this one.


I m planning to (well, i ll try) to save some $$ for black Amercian racing Teflon wheel but i dont think its avaiable for our truck.

AR767 is a black rims but its steel- a bit heavy..if you bend it, just use BFH and wack it back in shape hehe i did this with my Jeep rockcrawling LOL!

The American Racing Wheels Are Almost Black. Styles Ar-367 And Ar3981. Both Are Teflon. The 3981 Is A Solid Color And The 367 Has A Polished Lip. I Have A Dark Shadow Grey F-150 And Was Hoping They Would Match My Grey But They Are Too Dark. On A Black Truck I Think They Would Appear Dark Grey. Have Actually Had My Hands On A Set Yesterday. I Am Looking Fevershily For A Set That Even Fit The Truck. But I Can Tell You That After 3 Months Of Searching The Wheels I Mentioned Are The Only Thing Close To Black That I Know About.

I always thought "knightrider-ish" and "batmobile" were good things.

no 16's- only 17 and above. the most popular tire for an 18 inch wheel is the Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60/18. other choice is the BFG A/T 285/65/18 (works well with stock wheel) look in gallerys for pictures.

man thats horrible most At's or Mud tires are relatively cheap until you get to 17's and all though i like the stock 18''s they jsut don't look like they would have the width you need for them well back to the drawing board.

I have 17" american eagle wheels on 35" Pro Comp Xterrain Radial tires. The tires have worn great so far and they are pretty quiet on the highway. Just another option for you.

Sorry, I don't know how to post only the link without showing the actual picture.

ok i'm about to order some rims pretty quick so a quick response would be great
i'm looking at some 17's x 8 's with 4.5 inch back spacing and the skyjacker 3'' suspension lift can i run 33'' 12.50's without it rubbing on that upper arm that is so close to the tires now

and yes i know it's not good to run 12.50's on 8'' rims but i did it before with no problems and its really me only option and the lug spacing is 6x5.5 right srry

so the questions are lug spacing being 6x5.5 and 17's 33''12.50 with no rubbing
