Default Mod Question

I currently have a 2005 Silver F150 Regular Cab with a billet grille in the front and chrome side steps. I am soon to get a Cowl Hood, 15% tint, 3" lift, bed liner, and bed cover. I was wondering if it would look good with 20" black rims on the silver truck. So many people go to chrome or silver and I wanted my truck to stand out so I am thinking of some nice, black rims such as:

or

My current truck is attached.

Welcome to the site!! You'll definitely stand out with black wheels on a silver truck. It will look pretty good. I've seen MANY silver go with the black wheels and they look decent IMO.

Definitely get the first black wheels.

What kind of lift are you getting? Hopefully not the Skyjacker 3" one.

I am not sure what the difference between lifts are, i just wanted it a tad bit higher. And i think im fully convinced on gettin the black rims just a choice of which ones. I should have everything done when this tax season runs around, i cant wait!!!!! Thanks everyone!

I'm just not a fan of black wheels, to me they just look like dirty wheels from a distance. Of the 2 that you should though I prefer the 2nd wheel over the 1st.

So are wanting off-road tires or low-pros?? If you're going with low pros I wouldn't lift it at all. It's gonna look weird having a lifted truck with 20's and low-pros. I think you should go with bigger wheels and drop it a few inches to give a better look. There's going to be too much of a wheel gap.


BUT.....If you're planning on going with 20's and like 33's, 35's or 37" tires than I would definitely lift it!!

2nd rims, and what triton said, if you plant for low-pro tires keep the same ride height or lower it, if you plan on puttin on bigger tires lift it
