A set of Steel, or Chrome ones. Steel easy to clean up, Chrome one take a lot of hard work to get looking right once more

not sure i image steel since the are the factory rims for f-350 but it sounds like a cheaper fix than buying new rims just pay some shop to refurbish just not sure how much that cost never done it before always bought different rims once got ugly

Steel nice because you can have them simply sandblasted and powder coated and they can look great, Chroem has to be sandblasted, smoother, cleaned, and then find a chrome shop. I did a set or steel and it cost me $100 to have them complety done, But the chrome one where quated at $500 with no promise it come out good

make sure to have them checked for trueness. Most tire shops will do it for asmall fee. you just dont want one that wobbles all over or has a hidden flat spot
