I was looking through the "What did you do TO your F-150 today?" and found an intersting entry from 2001 from a poster who blacked the whole wheel:

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The factory silver wheel paint is really growing on me so far. Especially with the Iconic Silver in the sunlight they are nearly the same color. I still may go black though. If I do, I'll likely delete the cemtercaps so it looks a little "tougher". The black with black centercaps looks a little Mayberry PD to me now lol. Especially with a smaller less aggressive tire. Who knows, more decisions... stay tuned.

I like the steelies and expect that I will keep them as is when I get my truck. As I live in Florida, my first order of business will be getting some good tinting installed.

I agree, I like the way my truck looks now far better than with the STX 20's. Window tint was also one of my first upgrades. Went with ceramic and I am very happy. May get the windshield done in 50% next.

I'll grab some better pictures when I'm out soon from a distance, but I bought an XL as I wanted a 2000s to 2010s era mid trim truck feel .. which would be a 2024 XL these days. Tons of features all standard. And I wanted something that didn't have all of the flash I usually add to my other vehicles.

I really enjoy the steel wheels and I did the 11th gen chrome center caps and just added the CCI chrome beauty rings. Really happy with the look especially from a distance it adds depth to the wheel. They would look really nice painted black which I still may do. But I want to wait before I decide to paint them (if I even bother).

Here is a side shot. I have seen people mention doing something similar but never actually seen the pictures so figured I would put this out there for someone searching in the future
