Wheels/Tires suggestions??

Alright so sometime soon I am hoping to get new wheels and tires for my 07 f150 V6 reg cab..right now I have 22 inch rims, but want to get some 18 inch offroad rims...I really like the XD series monster rim in flat black (and there only about $215 a rim), but everyone and there grandma has them ...I really want black rims...some black rims with WHITE accents would look cool too

1. I have seen these sweet offroad rims with like 6 huge bolts, almost like bead locks, called like the Joker series or something?? anyone know??

2. What size tire should I look at for 18 inch rims without killing my gas mileage, but without it looking dumb (30,31,32,33"?)

3. Any other suggestions for cool looking black rims, preferably under $250 a rim? and any interactive wheel websites??

Thanks

Some pics:

The rims your referring to are Ballistic Jester rims.

If you have a leveling kit a 33 would look good and not kill you mileage wise.

There are a ton of good looking wheels out there just a preference thing. If you post some pics of your truck we could get a better idea of what will look good.

THey would look good. I'd suggest adding a 2.5 inch leveling kit and some 285/65-18 (33x11.50) or 305/60-18 (33x12.50) tires.

thanks for the suggestions...I have a 2wd truck tho...someone said I can't put a leveling kit because I don't have torsion bars?? If I can get a leveling kit what do you recommend??

You were given some misinformation. None of the 04-10 F-150's have torsion bars. They all have coilover shocks. Most members have found the Autospring kits to be a great product at a great price.
