My XD Monster wheels have seen 3 Pennsylvania salty winters and still look great and not pitted. Would look great on a grey truck too.

Extended flares on a non lifted F150 look stupid. I considered it briefly after I leveled mine, but after looking at one in person with a set of bushwackers, I was instantly convinced that it was not a good look. Those things need to be on a 6+ lift, and a level just doesn't cut it. Mine is level. On stock wheels, you can fit 34.5's with zero rubbing issues. As soon as you start to push wheels out, your tire size must shrink relative to the further you push them out.

In terms of color for wheels, my personal preference on a grey truck are black wheels. If I'm spending your money, I'm going with something like these...

Which wheels did you get with your truck? Maybe consider powdercoating them?

Go Riders.................. NOT!

I like the stockers. But if I was to buy a set I'd go gloss black. To me the gray is a nice color and I feel matte black takes away from the shine.....everyone is different tho

Dark rims with this grey, or black and silver. And vigs is right on, those stockers go well with the Sterling grey metallic

Hi guys...was away for Christmas...truck came in but an option was incorrect so waiting on a reorder....I am going with the bushwhacker extends flares ...no bolts showing like the pocket flares as I do lots of gravel....
Dealer put some matte black fuel dunes on tires for me...I like the boost better but the wait for them may not be an option as I am selling dealer my Oem tires and rims....so might be fuel dunes....love the bmf...but too expensive...
These rims will cost 1400 and dura tracks 1800

Not a big rider fan...brother in law is a huge fan.....lol
