Looking for suggestions on new wheels for stock lariat in iconic silver with chrome package

[Markv77]

Long story short, dealership curb rashed my rim badly but won't take responsibility for it. Before you ask, I tried pretty hard to get them to fix the situation but I didn't notice the damage until I got home and they think it happened on the drive home... It pains me to look at the damage after spending $$ on a new truck. And I don't like the high maintenance with the chrome PVD wheels, so I'd rather put the replacement money towards aluminum rims. I'm struggling to make a decision on aftermarket wheels, due to all the chrome alongside the silver color. I think dark colored rims wouldn't look right. I'm debating replica raptor wheels from discount tire or the expedition replicas. I figure there's enough black to compliment the black on the two color raptors. There's also a guy selling the gray sport rims for a good price and those would be OEM, but would that dark gray clash with the chrome and bright silver paint? Anyone have a silver lariat with chrome bumpers/grill and aftermarket wheels? I'm staying stock ride height, because the 20's give me enough ground clearance for the forest service roads I visit and keeps the gas consumption good.

Current options I'm considering

The gray FX 4 wheels would look pretty clean IMO!

I went with Roush F150 wheels. They are called “iridium”. I think they look good with practically anything…

I was looking at those. How's the poke? I don't want to worry about the sides of the truck getting scratched up.

Not sure how you feel about old school rims, but these are great with the chrome package. I had the same wheels as you, and the exact same problem (curb damage). The ride is also much softer with the 17" rims.

Looks awesome! Love the old school look.

Love that look! I hope Ford comes out with some heritage models like they did with Broncos. Had some rims like that on my old Jeep. Unfortunately, I'm hoping to transfer my existing tires over and wear them out. I like a lot of the 17" and 18" options, but that means I have to spend the money on new tires as well.

It’s minimal, maybe a 1/2”???? I have stock width tires 275/65R20 (but they are 34” vs 33”).

I did add mudflaps but mostly so the snow & ice don’t build up on the running boards. Poke is minimal…

That looks really good! I think I’m sold on those now. Thanks for letting me know and sharing those pics!

Looks totally sharp! Bet my buddy would like them for his new Lariat 4x4. He used to have black throttle fuel wheels on his Explorer.
