17" is too small would look better with a larger set & a 3" lift IMO

Honest opinion.

I like the wheel, I just don't care for it on a 2nd Gen. Seems too flashy for the styling of the 2nd Gen body.

But what do I know?

I like factory wheels, figure that one out.
i do kind of agree with steelblitzkrieg factory steaal wheels look good, my favorite is those spraypainted black.
i do like the rim choice though and i would imagine your going to put bigger tires on right? white walls in

thanks david

I though you bought the Edge for both better fuel mileage and a bump in HP/TQ when needed. So did you land a Union job, win the Lotto or get a truck load of Obama bucks so that you can help stimulate the Mason City economy? Do tell me where that money tree is so I can have $$$ for making my truck look pretty that and I could buy new windows & insulation for the house so that I can keep Al Gores Global warming out and lower my heat bill

well it starts with finding the right part of town, then from there you need to walk the right amount of foot steps a certain direction from the right part of town then turn left and go approx another.....certain amount of footsteps then you gotta go round a big tree and head right a lil ways. you then gotta swim across some water and turn right again, follow the shoreline and turn left back away from the water. Walk another certain amount of foot steps then look up and to your right. You will see the money tree, but the bills dont fall, so you need to climb up the tree about 75 ft, to get to the 1s, the higher you go and more flimsy the branches get the higher the bells get in face value.



GOOD LUCK! I almost killed myself, but i ended up with $354,635!!!

I know what you mean though CumminsRedneck, I liked the factory rims on my truck, but they were factory, didn't stand out. I went with some aftermarket that I didn't think were too flashy but I thought looked good.

Bottom line, your money, your truck. Good luck with your decision

good post Rob, however, those are about the least flashy wheels i can find with that style wheel, and i refuse to go with a steel wheel because they just plain do NOT do it for me.

The wheels make the truck look good. IMHO 35's that are black walls will look good with or without a lift. LOL

I personally hate 6 Spoke Rims on ANY vehicle! Five Spokes are the only amount to have.

My two cents on the whole deal is if you like them AND they are MADE IN THE USA spend your money on what you want!

As a side note, does any know if the Pre Super Duty Ford rims fit 2nd Gen Dually Trucks?
