Default wheel choice

So I recently picked up my first F150 (black 2017 XLT FX4). It came with 20" wheels and I'm going to swap them for 18" stock wheels. I've narrowed it down to two sets available locally and keep going back and forth. So hard to decide when you can't seem them on the truck. Curious which ones you all like better. Both sets are around the same price ($200 vs. $160). From the adds the top set is of a 2016 Lariat and the bottom set are sport wheels off a 2016 STX package.

I think the bottom set is actually off the previous gen F150, not a '16 STX. Which wheels do you have now? Personally, I wouldn't swap any of the stock 20s for what you have pictured. If I were going with 18s I would probably go with the '18-'20 18" sport wheels. Those are pretty nice.

Similar to the top ones on my 04 extra cab short bed. Nice wheels. I bought a 5th so I'd have a matching spare.

These are what I have on now, except they're 20". I've been watching for sport wheels but unfortunately haven't been able to find any in my area the last couple weeks.

My truck left the factory with 20" wheels for a 502a Lariat.
I believe the selling dealership replace the wheel package with the 18's you have pictured without a tire on it. I like that wheel a lot.
My vehicle was purchased used -I did not know until later the wheels weren't original to the truck. I'm torn, I would have wanted the 20's because they are more expensive and I paid a premium for the used vehicle, but also I like the wheel a lot that I have.

I suggest the top one before the bottom on of the 2 your have pictured.

I too prefer the ones you have, those are real popular around here so I doubt you will get a ton of support to swap.

If I had to choose from your first two, it would be the top one.

I like them a lot too - just wish they were 18" wheels.
