Aftermarket 8 lug wheels for an F-350, or possible 10 lug conversion?
I have been mulling over getting a 2008 SD as a second truck, and converting the look to that of a 650+. Would I be better off to convert the 8 lug setup to a 10 lug, or can I find some good 19.5"+ dually wheels in an 8 lug for my SD that look like the tractor trailer wheels found on the 650 and 750? What wheels do you all recommend for this look? I would like to have an F-650 (my dream truck) but love the dash in the 2008+KR, as well as liking the idea of having a 6.4L. Like I said before, I am still mulling the ideas over, I have not even bought the truck yet. Thanks in advance for the input.

Check out this link... most of the 19.5" wheels are of a 10-lug design. However, there are 8-lug direct bolt-on wheels available.

If the 650 is your dream truck, I would recommend getting a 650 and just swapping the KR interior parts into it. There are really nice 650's for sale all over the place for about $15k. I have seen several wrecked 08 KR trucks on autotrader in the $8-10k range. So for less than $25k you could have a real 650 with KR interior. You would probably spend $45k for a KR 350 and then have to spend a heck of a lot more to make it look like a 650. I would rather spend half the money and get twice the truck.

Gotta say, I am really loving the Round Hole Classics from Diesel Accessories, but if I pop out $4K for some wheels I believe my fiancee will kill me. Still, it comes complete. Might be a possibility. Hummm.
