Those sure do change the looks of it! Personally I like the originals but I'm just too old school ..... or just too old!

I too loved my originals.....but they were getting pretty banged and the finish was starting to peel. Ford wants too much for rims and the junkyards never had any in good condition.

Steve:

"Sick" is the new "bitchin", "outtasight" or what have you.

When I'm sick, that's a bad thing. When that exhaust is sick, I guess that's a good thing. Those left coasters are some wierd people

I'm not into "bling" or large wheels...but if I were, I'd probably like it

Hell...if I could, I'd go to 15" wheels on mine. Cheaper tires

That isn't wat I would choose, but there is no doubt that when that rolls down the road people turn to see it and know there is somebody behind the wheel that loves his truck! And, to me, that's what it is all about! Great job makin' the truck yours and only yours.

I stuck with stock size and offset when I picked them.....not into the low profile tire thing.

Unfortunatly my celebration is cut short, mytranny is acting up......likes to drop rpms with in drive.
