Steelies on a truck is like a beard on a man.

Bling wheels are boys who get their eyebrows done.
But in today's world most of the guys with beards are also the guys who get their eyebrows done. The urban-lumberjack look.

Lol yeah, your not wrong
"I look like I belong in the outdoors but my boots aren't waterproof and are too expensive to get dirty."
Or the " I'm not a trained Operator but I like how they look in the 13 Hours movie" Look.

Well really wanted to get the old work truck vibe and started by going the 'other direction'.
Remove alloy XLT wheels in place of 16x7 Stock Ford Steelies. Used a set of ST Maxx 265 75 16's.
Cooper website says 7" in the range of rim width. Pouring outside but here's a pic for you in the Garage if you're interested.
No issues clearance wise on or off road, no spacers, 2" Fox Performance lift up front, Fox shocks rear.

More often than not, the minimalistic look is the most attractive.

I had a set of these '63 Ford hubcaps with beauty rings on my '65 Mustang.

The hubcaps were standard equipment on our then new '63 Country Squire, my Dad replaced them with Ford simulated wire wheel covers.
