Is that truck in Houston? I see a white leveled Limited on Shepherd all the time and it always catches my eye.

personally I think it'd look really cool with the wheels left as they are and the 13/14 Limited grille (same as I have) installed with the surround painted gray. I think dark gray and chrome or polished go together really well.

Love those wheels. Ford has really done an excellent job with their alloys for the past 6-10 years.

Looks great on that color. I like the Limited or Platinum grill replacement option. Needs something to tie the rest of the truck to those wheels

haha it is a little spendy. but I don't regret mine a bit. it brings the front of the truck together so well whereas my stock one was just an unsightly hunk of chrome. your stock FX grille isn't bad looking but I think the Limited one would really compliment the wheels.

Agreed.
I will say (as a former FX4 owner) always felt the FX4 grill looked kind of cheap with the bare black plastic center bars. At least the surround was painted. But, with Tux black it didn't help much.

Will running 305/45/22 tires make your speedometer inaccurate much?
