So I bought a set of 20's less than 2 weeks ago and I already replaced them with something bigger.

I put these on after I bought them off Craigslist with tires for $300.

After having my stock wheels and tires on Craigslist for that whole time asking $350 and only having 1 person even call on them I traded them off today. I was able to trade them straight up for a set of Ford OEM 22's. They guy I got them from said he drives 40,000 miles a year and besides the loss in gas mileage was going through tires almost every 10-11 months. He put the stock wheels he already had back on and got mine as a back for when his current ones are shot. He had an '05 Limited but had bought these wheels when he bought the truck from a dealer in 2010, so they are barely 3 years old. He is putting my crappy looking stock '03 XLT wheels on a nice Limited, but to each their own. One tire was shot so I just bought a used one for $59 until I can buy a set of 4 and $20 later for mounting and balancing all 4 I installed them and can't be happier. I love the look of them and actually think they drive better than the 20's. They need a little tlc since even when he had them stored in his garage they just sat there with brake dust so there is some minor pitting. Nothing a little time and energy can't mostly clean up. So on to the pics.

Very nice! I like the look a LOT more than those other chrome rims you had.. Sounds like the swap deal was just one of those deals that doesn't come along every day.

Out of curiousity, how many MPG will one sacrafice by going from a 17 to a 20 rim/tire combo? My Expedition is not my daily commuter, but rather a tow vehicle, but I did notice it went from bad to worse when I upgraded to 20s.. :uhoh2:

In just the jump from 17's to 20's I saw maybe 1.5mpg but on a vehicle that gets 15 on a good day that's 10%. I don't drive too much and in this cold have the car idling for probable 40 minutes a day so my mileage isn't all that accurate. We'll see how it does going to 22's.
