Supply and demand...Some people really want OEM rims for their ford. They cost an arm and a leg directly from ford so your still getting them for a better price buying used. Especially the 20's...I think a new set of of 20's form ford run around 2100 or so? so if you get a used set in good condition you pay half. There really aren't that many good looking OEM rims especially 20's out there. Most people wiht aftermarket 20's step up from the 18 inch rims.
