As title say. I'll be running dedicated winter tires next winter and I'm looking at wheels right now. I'm trying not to buy steel rims because I don't want my truck to be ugly 5 months a year.

How would that look on my truck

Thanks all

They look a little better than steel wheels, but no wheres near as good as your stock wheels look.

I know they don't look as good... but I'm cheap so I want to keep cost low and they were the cheapest I found. Stock steel wheels are 120$ each and those 142 and they are hub centric on our truck.

What if I plasti-Dip them then?

I was in the same dilemma. The amount of winter we have in Canada, my truck looks crappy for the majority of the year. I have 16" alloys with blizzaks, but I hate the look and I'm trying to deal on a set of 2010 FX4 20's to put some Zaks on. Either that, or I sell the winters and get a damn good A/T tire.

Here winter tires are mandatory... You need the snow flake on the tires!

NASSTY

They would probably look better Plasti-Dipped.
Or...Have you looked for some used or new take off F150 wheels? I picked up a set of chrome clad 17's on craigslist for $50. I Plasti-Dipped them and they are still ugly as sin, but I just bought them to run at the drag strip.

Yep I looked for used wheels and can't find anything at a decent price... I'm desperate ;-)

Here is mine...
I had the same concerns as you. Brand new truck and I wasn't about to put steel wheels for 5-6 months of the year. So everyone understand, it's the law to have winter tires here in Quebec Canada
I think you can do better then Canadian Tire... I got my kit at discount tire direct. I would look more at 18" wheels and tires then 17. The price of the tires are pretty much the same, but wheels are a little more.

guys are always off loading stock wheels from their trucks. Why don't you watch CL and ebay and the forum classifieds and pick up a set of 17" or 18" oem wheels. They will be good quality and look good and the smaller diameter will mean cheaper winter tires vs a 20" wheel.

EDIT: I didn't see NASSTY's post above saying the same thing. I think it just comes down to patience and how much time you have. Put up a "willing to buy" post in the classifieds and see if you get any bites.

Looks good for winter!
