Why are most aftermarket wheels so BroDozer?

[Grassland]

OEM wheel on my F150 is 17x7.5 +44.
I'm trying to find aftermarket wheels: a) without fake beadlocks b) that aren't hideous, c) that have a positive offset of +20 or +25 or 30 etc, d) aren't wider than 8.5. e) aren't black
What's with all the 0 offset 9" wide wheels? Is it because everyone loves riding around with tires 2" past the fenders?
Ive so far found Method 705 in titanium with 17x8.5 +25, Method 703 in 17x7.5 +20 but they are black.
17x8.5 Raceline 944GS Outlander Greystone +18mm
And vision 355 Manx Overland 2 but they are 17x9 +20mm so that's at least 3/4" past my fenders

Because bros buy them?

What's wrong with your OEM ones?

I'm going to use them for winters.
Although depending on the price for the aftermarket ones I like, maybe I'll just buy steelies and keep the OEM ones

 

[PirateMcGee]

I would suggest finding some OEM takeoffs for summer or winter. They're dirt cheap compared to methods etc.

Beat me to it.

I replaced my stock mag wheels with steel wheels. I think they look good. Wish I could have gone to a salvage yard but had to order them. Not an F150 though. good luck with your search

 

[ExpoMike]

Yeah, I have ran into similar issues looking for our Ram. I want to go up from the OEM 16" to a 17" wheel, so I can do the 3rd Gen Ram larger front disc brakes. They won't clear the 16" wheel.

go steelies for winter and if they come black,.... paint them

Like new math, I don't understand new English either. I'm old ?

 

[displacedtexan]

Gotta market to the target audience!

 

[Grassland]

Yeah I think I'm just going to check Kijiji for some F150 take offs from a 13th gen, I like the XLT base wheel. If none around in good shape at a good price, steel it is.

Sometimes Bro's just gotta Doze

+2 on OEM takeoffs from those who are going aftermarket look.

Sometimes the stock steel wheels just aren't wide enough to support larger tires.

I was very sad to finally lose my "ugly" stock steel wheels.

I found the plainest aftermarket wheels I could find, but I still prefer the stock steel ones.

Though the new ones do have holes, which are useful for hi-lift jacking. This below was my trick to jack my steel wheels without holes:

Don't get me wrong there are some nice, clean, aftermarket wheels. It's just they all stick out so far on my platform. Don't know if Ram, Tundra, or Chevy have same problem but it's probable.
I like the Method 705s in titanium personally, but out of thousands of wheels, that so few even come close to OEM fitment

*Edit to say, 7.5 is a bit narrow, but even raptor wheels are 8.5. can't you run 315s on an 8.5?

Buddy has a set of raptor wheels on his f150 that he runs 35’s and his set of stock alloy wheels he runs winter tires on. He picked the raptor wheels up fairly cheap.
