Well, I am getting an awesome deal on some 06 Lariat F350 wheels and I can use my tires on them, so I'll be getting them next week and putting my chrome steelies for sale w/o the tires. What does everyone think? I'm also going to loose the amber roof lights and go with the smoked ones because they are very reasonably priced.


Here are my current rims:




The new rims on my friend's F350:

Thanks for the opinions everyone.thumb.gif

I'm definitely going to go with the Lariat wheels...Overall they will last a lot longer too and I'll just sell the rims that I have now.

Does anybody need chrome steelies?
I'll sell the at a very reasonable price.

I'll have to look for those...I'm not a big fan of the steelies on my truck...I can't pass up the Lariat wheels for $350.
Sully
i agree.... great price. Just throwing out options

I know, that's what I'm saying lol...can't beat $350...I was thinking that there was no way that I was going to pass that up.

you could even use those as summer rims and keep the ones u have on now for winter

True...I could just hold onto them till after winter...The only thing is that the new wheels have kinda bad tires, so I'd need to put my tires on unless I held off on that till after winter as well.
J Kellz
i say just save em for the spring man

Those look nice, the wheels that Joe (sick'-o's) has on his truck would look killer!

Well, I picked up the rims today and they are MINT!!! They just need a quick cleaning, but have no curb rash or scrathces...$350 well spent...two of the tires actually have decent tread, so I'm going to end up saving them for spares just in case. I'll take some pics this week when it stops raining out and I clean them up.

sully my wheels are aluminum. good choice on the larry wheels, the stock steelies dont last worth a shit they rot out, they dont look that bad but they are mad heavy as well. i took my stock 8 hole alloys and stripped the clear, wet sanded and buffed them, a lot of keep up but they look real good, u can do the same to the lariat wheels if u wanted.



Nice...thanks for the info! thumb.gif
