I like the later suggestions from the other members. Sorry, no offense, but to me 20" wheels look like they belong on a pimpmobile. MHO.

Keep in mind that the bigger the rim and the lower the tire profile the rougher your ride is going to be.
A fellow I met put a similar set-up on his BIg SUV and he siad it ruined the ride so much he was thinking of going back to a smaller 15-17 inch wheel.

If you don't want stock, the only choice is an old style aluminum slotted wheel. Maybe a clen five spoke after that if you had to have a third choice. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Okay In order to clear things up for all the Brothers.
Here is the List of the Coolest, Most Awesome Wheels/Rims to put on a 67-72 F-Series:
In Aluminum - American Racings Torq- Thrust D's , followed by the 60's US MAG reproduction. and the tried and true economical Outlaw II.
In Steel - It's the Smoothie followed by the White Spoke or Wagon Wheel.
How's that!

re: Which wheels do you like??
Completely agreeing with mrung0wa's list of the "Coolest, Most Awesome Wheels/Rims to put on a 67-72 F-Series".
Im especially partial to the Torq- Thrust D although the 60's US MAG -reproduction is equally nice on a 67-72 truck.
For steel the Smoothie/Baby Moon cant be beat.
I cant find a set of those to fit an F250 bolt pattern so I opted for the White spoke wagon wheel. But that style wheel looks great in black too.

Re: re: Which wheels do you like??
Totally agree. If I were to put aftermarket wheels on mine it would be the aluminum wheels all the way on the right of your picture. The othes look good too. I can't stand 20'smrung0wa wrote:Okay In order to clear things up for all the Brothers.
