Default Suggestions for wheels and speakers?

Hey guys, been off of here for a while, but I am looking into getting some new wheels / rims for my truck and my front two windows tinted to match the back ones. Any suggestions for wheels / rims?

Also, do any of y'all with this model truck have any extra speakers under your back seat? Having a little trouble finding some.

personally, i hate narrow rims, but you can't go with a wide wheel and 35's, you are gonna need to find a 18" wheel obviously, maybe a moto metal 18x9 with a 6" backspace, that should work.

question~ do you ever plan to put a full suspension lift on it?

I have seen a black and gold f150 before with xd monsters and I though it looked pretty sweet, check out my profile... my rims are 18's and I'm assuming you dont want to get rid of those tires so probably will be sticking to 18's

yea deals are to be had, i could have picked up a new 04-08 rancho kit, same as on my truck, new in the box for 700 bucks off craiglist last week. keep your eyes open

side note--if you good with a wrench, get a body lift, quite labor extensive, but it will set ya back only 500 bucks and you can run some 18x10's
