Motivations and Options

There are many reasons you’d want to consider a new set of aftermarket wheels. Maybe you’re adding fender flares or want to make room for bigger tires? Maybe you added a lift kit and are ready to take the truck to a new level, literally? Maybe you’re just bored with what came from the factory and ready to liven things up a bit. Either way, we’re here to help, with options ranging from a variety of designs, weights, materials, finishes, stances and more. You can alter your truck’s look dramatically with a set of aftermarket wheels.

Materials and Finish

Cast aluminum, aluminum alloy and steel are three of the most popular wheel materials today. While chrome finishing can add a stunning look, RealTruck offers a variety of finishes including matte black, machined black, bronze, gray, two-tone or even wild colors. Finding the right combination for your truck and your sense of style is as easy as browsing our site.

Size

When upgrading to aftermarket wheels, very few people choose to get smaller wheels than those that came from the factory. There’s a reason for this, and it has to do with brakes. Brake system components must fit into the inward-facing side of rims, and compromising this space for a smaller wheel could result in your brake system being damaged or functionally challenged. However, keep in mind that as the size of your wheel selection increases, the sidewalls of the tires available to fit that rim decreases. A shorter sidewall makes for a stiffer tire, too, so it’s good to realize that there’s more to the size of your wheel choice than how it looks. A typical F150 wheel size ranges from 17” to 22” in diameter, with a 6x135 bolt pattern, for example.

Application

Though many people choose to upgrade their wheels primarily due to a concern for a certain look, it’s worth considering what you intend to do with them. If you do a lot of off-roading, it might be pretty obvious that you don’t want the stiff, narrow tires that accompany huge rims. On the flipside, if you keep your truck on the pavement and love giant wheels, you might love these tiny tires. Then again, if you’re planning on hauling much of anything heavy, you might reconsider. Off-road, or even on pavement with a heavy load, you’ll want more air in those tires.

Beadlocks

Beadlocks are a cool feature, particularly when you’re driving off-road with lower air pressure for increased traction on rough and varied terrain. Beadlocks help make sure your tire doesn’t pop off the bead by clamping it into place. Keep in mind though that Beadlocks aren’t street legal, which has led to a rise in imitation beadlocks designed to deliver their aggressive look, legally. While some aftermarket wheels include beadlocks, more include the imitation version.

Price

Mostly, adding running boards is a net-positive decision, but you should be aware of a few potential drawbacks. If you’re big into offroad adventuring, you may lose a bit of your ground clearance, which technically could compromise your flexibility when blazing trails across the wild backcountry. You’ll also be adding some weight, which should be factored into your overall payload capacity, especially if you’re hauling at or near that peak.
