What would be a good looking set of wheels for my 84 F150 4x4 project truck? I wanted to go with a larger rim like a 17" but all of the "off the shelf" 5x5-1/2" bolt pattern wheels don't have enough back space. The factory wheels have a 4" back space so I will have to go with a 15" wheel or a custom wheel.
I like the looks of the 17" bead locks or anything by Real Racing wheels or the Walker Evans wheels. What do yawl think would look good on a 1984 body style with 33"-35" mud tires?
Its just hard to find something different and new with this bolt pattern.

Or maybe something from OMF (here is a link to their wheels)

Bead locks are cool for running low air pressure, but one draw back is the ring can pack tons of mud inside the rim which makes for a rough ride home if this is going to be a street driven vehicle.


I like the real wheels myself!

Didn't think of that. do you ever have that problem with a non-bead lock wheel?

I like the Real Pro 6. I need two beadlock rears to match the front.
