Not sure why my whole message is not showing up so I'll try this again. I am looking at putting on a set of new wheels on my 2000 F150 7700 supercab. It is green in color with the rockers being grey. I have black nerf bars and a chrome grill guard on it. I would like to put black wheels with chrome inserts on the truck, but am unsure if they will look good with the color of the pickup. Any suggestions on if it will look ok or if I should stick to chrome? Also, anyone have a picture of a that color scheme with black and chrome wheels or all black wheels? Thanks

Can you see about getting some pics of your truck as it is now? Suggestions are easier if we know what we are working with. Welcome to the site.

Have you researched wheels for your 7700 yet? There's very limited choices for Ford's 7 lug hubs. I would suggest you do some searching here to see what others have found. But if memory serves me the selection is slim.

Thank you! I am about as technologically challenged as they come.

Yep, I have done quite a bit of looking. It looks like the selection has become better. Ebay has quite a few by searching for Ford 7x150. I know for a while it was pretty tough to find much.

As SVT stated selections are somewhat limited but they are out there. Just a quick search turned up something like this which is what your looking for.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tw...b/media/images

Random thought, ever considered line-x on the trim so its green and black all the way around? Throw some all black wheels on there with your other add ons and I think it would look mean. As it sits now its a good looking truck, but am undecided on how black or black and chrome wheels would look. Ill see what I can come up with.

I have been throwing around the idea of the black line x for a while. I always said I would never do it until the bottom of the pickup rusted, and there is not even a tiny spot on there. I am going to be repainting the frame black though as that seems to have lost any paint that was on it.

I've done some emailing back and forth and they say this one will fit. It says 2004 and newer, but apparently it is the same. http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-X-9-FUEL-OFF-ROAD-THROTTLE-BLACK-F150-HEAVY-DUTY-FORD-XL-BLACK-WHEELS-RIMS-/350758377781?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51aad41935&vxp=mtror
