I voted for #4 because out of the ones you posted I like that one the most!!! I personally think you should look for the Saleen wheels. They're 23 inches and I think they look good especially on white truck because they're kind of white-ish in color. Here's the Saleen wheel. Hope you like!!

hey carl.....the size you will go with is what will determine what will look best....def go aftermarket and forget the stockers.....if you are doing a 20" do the ION...if you are going bigger do the milan...if you are going smaller.....don't go smaller...lol

ditch the saleen. they're nice wheels and all i guess, but think about how much tires would be on that rim.

due to braking systems, tire cost etc... 20 inch is what have intentions of going with. plus I have a small boat now (just under 3K lbs) and i may get a bigger boat next year and i dont want to have to worry about pulling a bigger boat. but 20's i think would be the best all around size for me.

there are some really great looking wheels on the market right now. i have seen some black wheels that really look nice. on my 07 silverado i had black chrome wheels and man they looked great on white.. but I kinda am going for the white/chrome/black color combination and feel like black chrome would mess up the coordination of colors... damn i hope that made sense...lol

Have you thought about possibly going with the OEM 20's?? I bought mine back in December replacing my stock 17's and the truck looks ALOT better IMO. Just a thought for ya' and I didn't have to touch the brakes at all.

why spend the money on stockers? IMO if you are going to buy new wheels, get some wheels that are worth it, not to keep it looking stock....as for only doing a 20" wheel because of towing...I had 24's on my old hummer and 22's on an older duraturd I had and I never had any issues towing anything with them...make sure you get good ones if you go big...cheap wheels will bend and get effed up from towing...

IMO the OEM 20's are the best lookin' wheel. I could have spent $3k on some aftermarket wheels and tires but I wanted the stock look as much as possible.


Oh yeah and I only spent $300 for a set of OEM 20's compared to Ford wanting $540 per wheel.

I hate OEM....I modify my vehicles so they don't look stock...stock is to plain and to much like everyone else on the road....but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
