I have an f-150 xlt 5.4 v8 color red. I am in need of new tires, but I think I want new wheels, I have just about everything done on my truck that I want to but I want to put some great wheels on it. I'm not looking for anything crazy...I think some mat finish wheels with some good tougher looking tires on it would be great. Also it has stock 17's on it right now and I'd love to go up to a bigger size Again, nothing crazy (and I don't want to sacrifice too much on the speedo, or have to cut anything out of my wheel wells or anything). Thoughts???

When I bought the f150 it came with low tread 265/70/17's...unimpressive to say the least
So I sought out to get new wheels (and bigger ones) with better tires but still on a budget...
So I came across a set of 275/70/18's for $500 on Craigslist. When I looked at them I noticed they had extensive chrome damage and flaking because the guy stores them in the winter with all the salt from the road on them. Tires were still good. I got an idea and offered him $300...he agreed...I took them to a power wash...the damage was pretty damn extensive!
I had recently heard of plastidip so I thought I'd risk it and go for it
I love how they look and after about 6 coats I threw them on the truck
Needless to say, I'm extremely happy....I waited awhile to post these pics because I wanted to see how long the plastidip would hold...it's been about 5 months and I've been through 3 car washes, not do much as a nik off of the coating. They still look amazing! What y'all think?
