help me choose some rims!!!!!!!

im looking to get new wheels for x-mas for my f150. heres a pic of my truck.....

here is a link to summit racing of the wheels im looking at. ps the cragars are 6 spoke not five. http://www.summitracing.com/compare.aspx

heres what the cragars really look like...........

any thoughts would be great!!!! however i would like to keep the selection to this list as i like simple rims that are from good companies at resonable prices plus the fact that summit post info about the wheels they sell very well, so therefore i know what im getting.

thanks fellas!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Falken STZ/04's. I'm happy with them. I recently replaced 2 of them. My wife had a drain collapse in a driveway and shortly after that the truck started pulling. Turns out that the tire that fell into the driveway was seperating. I decided to replace 2 of them when I checked my records and saw they had 48,000 miles on them.

You buy Christmas gifts for your truck?

My vote would be for the Eagles

Another vote for the Eagles.

Also, I used to re-sell for the company that supplies Summit. I can tell you for a fact, they do not write what you see on their site. Its all imported into their db from a .CSV file they are given by their supplier. That being said, I like Summit. I order from them because of their good service. I can promise you though, they never see any of these products as they are all drop shipped by the supplier. I use to have an almost identical online catalog as summit.

Good luck with the wheels. Even trucks need Christmas presents.

nah, i think you guys may have miss understand me. Im picking out wheels so my folks can get them for me as an x-mas gift. But i think the eagles are going to be the ones i get. but i think i'll check some local places first for prices. I know they most likely wont be cheaper than summit cause I went to 3 local rim places to check on the 20" cragars for my truck and i was quoted between 1,100 and 1,300. at summit they want $930 shipped. but anyways thinks for the opinions
