Ya you really can't go with black wheels when you've already got a chrome bull bar and nerf bars, they just don't look right together. They just came out with a new XD wheel called the Revolver that would look good on your truck.

I've been looking at wheels on the internet all day long. I've come across a couple that I really, really like, but the wife is saying she likes the Helo's I had on there more than any I've shown her. There are a couple KMC wheels that I'm really thinking will look great on the truck. I like those Revolvers, the Spy's and the Backseats the best. I'm going down to the offroad shop tomorrow and see what they are going to charge for the different sets and the mud grappler tires I want.

Unfortunately I don't get to keep the jack stands. The police took them into custody as evidense. The ones that are under the truck right now belong to the shop doing the repair work.

A great place to look is Road and Track magazine. They have pages of companies that sell wheels. Yes the magazine is not much of a truck magazine put thanks to the huge number of F150's out there they do have wheels and tires for them.

Those are exactly the 2 wheels I'm trying to decide between, most likely going to go with the Revolvers. Shop called today and informed me I have roughly $3200 to shop with. A local offroad shop quoted me a price of $3100 for either Rockstars or Revolvers and Nitto mud grapplers, so right in that $3200 range. The repair shop said they were going to replace my ignition and keys and have the alarm reprogrammed in case of compromise. They also said they would paint my truck bed free of charge when they finally get it in the paint booth.

How about some of those snazy locking lugnuts to go along with 3k eorth of rims?

I know its not hard to get a tool for them, but its just one more thing to slow those ***-hats down.

I actually had locking lugnuts on the wheels. The truck had been left unlocked with the key inside the glove compartment making it very easy for the theives to get the wheels. The theives also stole a flatbed truck from the construction company upstairs to make off with the wheels. Part of me thinks this may have been an inside job.
