Default Which ones?

Ok guys, Im having trouble deciding which rims to purchase for my 2005 stx. I have it narrowed down to two different models both made by Moto Metal. Either the MO957 in black or the MO951 in black. Also, looking at what tire to wrap them with. Wanting to go with a 33" tire and something that is aggresive but made for the road more often. Please help ford lovers

this one if you want the blacked out theme which I'm not a big fan of

This one if you want chrome

And Last but not least my personal favorite

Hope this helped

I will be relieved when the black rim craze expires. They look nice, but I don't see why folks go out and buy fancy designed rims, and then order in black; you will not see the center design when the rim is black!

Buy a set of the steel rims Ford placed on the base models, then paint them black. Same effect, and lots of extra money in your pocket.

My son went out and spent a handful on a set of rims; sharp design and all. Then he ordered them in black. Unless the car is parked, and I walk up to the car within 4 feet, the design is lost.

Again, nothing against a black rim; just buy a set of steel buckets and paint them black.

Thanks guys! I am still unsure of the tire I want, hoping you all could help with that? I want to go 33" but I don't have a preference to any brand or anything. Thanks for the help!

Check your wheel fitment guide. I was going to purchase a set of mo957 in 20 in for my 04 crew cab 4x4. With 33 in tires they rubbed, I might also add that I have a 2 1/2 leveling kit in the front. The murdered out look for black trucks is the best way to go. I would do the black ones hands down but they might rub. Good luck BRAD
