Looking for some feedback please
These are the 2 wheels I am considering on my Excursion. They are the XD Series Hoss and Badlands wheels.... Any of you seen these wheels on a Ford Ex or F-Series truck? Do you have any pics?? Just trying to narrow down on the wheels and buy these and get the Ex lifted!!
I'd appreciate any input..........
Thanks!! Pics links below.....

Scottman, they are a little to open (see thru) for my taste. A guy at work has a lifted BOWTIE with those rims and you see all the way across the truck (under). Every rusty bolt , grease on ball joints , ugly wheelwells , oil leaks/spills etc.
If you plan to paint your calipers & detail underside then go for it.
Those rims wouldn't do great up here in Minnesota. Too much crap to drive in.
Don't get offended just my 2-cents, Rich.

I hear ya though, I am just trying to pick a rim that every other FOrd does not have. I like black rims but not on my color Excursion, I think black looks good on silver and white and red and black trucks only! Thanks for your opinion though appreciate it. I may have to paint the calipers if I go with those rims!!

The main thing is, what do you think? If you like each one equally, then just pick one. I haven't seen any SD with these exact wheels, but have seen ones with similar wheels. They look pretty good, but aren't my tastes. JMO
I don't care for black wheels on any vehicle, they look crappy. Wheels are supposed to be chrome, and lots of it! Some body color wheels look good, but again, not black.
Thing is, if you ask 10 people, you will get 10 different answers, and none may match your thoughts or feelings. Go with your gut.
