I ran Worx 803's on my 05 Duramax and loved the look. I can't stand the flat black trend right now but that is just me.

Need Wheel Input For F-150
 

It's time to upgrade the '08's tires and wheels for the spring. I'm pretty well set on a 20", stock tire diameter is 30" and I want to go a little bigger. These will be summer only wheels/tires. I tend to like a 5-spoke too. Any suggestions or pics of what y'all are running?

BTW, I didn't see any wheels I liked on tirerack.

My fav wheel out there. Chrome looks good too.

I want an all chrome wheel that will really shine. Something kind of simple. I didn't see anything in the truck section of tirerack. I will call them though. Is there another good web site for truck wheel/tire packages? No junk.

Check American Force Wheels. Lots of nice styles.

I'm running a 275/60/20 which is a 33" tall tire. 275/55/20 would be a 32" tall tire. You probably will have to run an 1 1/2" or 2" level in front to run the 33's without rubbing.

Thanks for the info. I work week-ends so it'll take me awhile to search for what I like. A 33" tire diameter should fit fine and sounds good.

Truckaddons.com

Google truckaddons and it isn't pretty what comes up! I still haven't found a wheel I like. I don't want fake rivets or anything complicated. Just a nice shiny chrome wheel that will sparkle going down the street. I'm going to go with the 275/60/20 size which is 3" larger than stock diameter. I've got a few more sites to check out. Meanwhile I found this set that I like for the '07 Mustang.

I found exactly what I wanted! 20" Roush wheels proprietary for my truck and a decent price of $354 each at Summit. Everyone else wants $442 each. WooHo! :)

I like the Hostile brand of wheels......I am sure it is more your style....Need a link let me know.

What size rim and tire on that setup?

I have an 04 silverado 2500 and I want to put a set of 20's on it. I am undecided on the tire size. I know the safe size is 275/60/20 but I am thinking on the 275/65/20's.

Going off of memory, they were 315/55/20 Mickey Thompson ATZ's. They worked out to a 33" tire. I still have them in my storage shed so I will check next week. I need to get off my ass and sell them this spring.

I had 3" lift keys, Bilstein shocks, and cognito upper control arms in the front. In the rear I had Bilstein shocks and 2" blocks. The truck rode like stock with the upper control arm upgrade.

Those rims will look great on that truck!

Nice...I might have been a buyer but I don't want to lift....Level maybe but not lift. My shocks are tired and I have been thinking on the bilsteins.

3" is considered a level, not lift. Most people just do the ebay keys (which I did) and shock extensions to get the height I did. The trick is with the upper control arms. Stock arms hit the bump stops and ride like a buck board. I only stuffed the 2" blocks in the rear because I liked the rake. This same wheel package works with stock control arms but you won't love the ride, but that will happen as soon as you crank the keys no matter if you leave the stock wheels on. I only had to trim the edge of the front valance and suck in the front ebrake cable with a big zip tie and had no rubbing issues.

Thanks. I really wanted a simple wheel just like this one and it will be easy to clean too. I ordered 275/60/20 tires as mentioned earlier by someone. They should fit easily since they are only 2" bigger diameter. Got Firestone Destinations from Tirerack. They have a higher load rating than the stock tires too.

These wheels are no longer available :(. There are two used sets on e-bay but both have flaws. If anyone knows where I can find a similar wheel please let me know. They must be 20" and 6x135 mm bolt circle. A simple, heavily chromed 5 or 6 spoke wheel. The new tires are here and waiting.

Both sets totally flawed? Could you buy both sets, and make one set of 4 that works? Then sell the bad ones?

Take a look at these, google and let me know and I can get you some prices. I sell wheels PM if you have any quesitons

At least one set looks like every wheel has some salt damage. The other set looks like they at least all have some light scratches. I want show quality wheels that will never see road salt.

Both sets show salt damage. :(

I don't want the fake bolts around the rim. A lot of the wheels I've looked at have those. I also would prefer to not have a center cap. Thanks for the suggestion though. They won't go on until spring so I have 3 months to find what I want.

Call a local chrome/refinishing shop. Factory chrome jobs are known to suck.
Case in point: the factory provided chrome Corvette wheels of that same era only came with one dip in the chrome. They all peel, even ones that are taken care of.

My Dad was advised to get the brushed wheels, and have them later chrome dipped; which is exactly what we had done for him as a gift, by a guy who specializes in wheels. He blasted, cleaned, sanded, and chrome dipped them and they turned out fantastic; and still show as knew 10 years later.

Even expensive wheels will have thin chrome? I figured if Roush put their name on a wheel then it would be good quality. They weren't cheap either. I did find these from American Racing but the cheap price scares me. About $250 each. The Roush wheels were $441 each.

Carl,,have you tryed discount tire,,i got wheeld years ago on a close out sale for my sub for 68.00 a wheel.. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/sea...2675&rc=ILCINT

This is the only contender that I see on discount tire and I am leaning toward a simpler wheel design. These are even cheaper which makes me wonder how thick the chrome is? Now to see if I got any feedback from f-150 forums...

Geez. . . . . .A dedicated F-150 forum with 200-800 members on-line at any given time and over night I get one reply that says American Racing is a good quality wheel. I get more good info on this little boating forum! This site is the best! :) If I can't find a new set of the Roush wheels then I will probably go with the AR ones that I pictured above.

What do you guys think between the AR ones pictured above or this one from Discount Tire that may be hard to keep clean and shiny?

i thought this went through..i use to be a dealer for these guys.. good wheels http://www.americaneaglewheel.com/

i like this one.. http://www.aewheel.com/wheels_detail...d=1958&cat=472

Fixx, those are good looking wheels but I decided on the American Racing wheels from Summit. I ordered them today because Michigan is trying to rush through a bill that will require mail order sales to collect sales tax.
