Default new wheels, thoughts?

Went to discount tire today and picked up a set of wheels. Never really was on board with the cranks and I like these more. I think they compliment the truck better, what y'all think?

This is the reason I got rid of them. Only thing left that's chrome is the f150 badges. Tail pipes are dumped now. Thinking of plastidipping the badges or getting them vinyled. Still undecided

I'm sure it does lol if u wanted to get tips later u could do true dual straights and it'd be just as loud. I brushed the chrome off my tips and blacked them myself w high temp paint. Don't wanna jack ur thread anymore so u can check them out in my album if u want. But again definitely like the black rims ya got

Those new wheels are sick! I like them a lot. Two questions. What size are they, and what percent tint do you have on your front Windows? 20% or 35%? Grey and black look great together

Thanks man. The wheels are 18x9 and I believe the offset is a plus 25. Not sure on the offset, all I know is they are pretty flush with the fx4 fender. As for the windows man, I honestly couldn't tell ya. They were tinted by the previous owner
