I got a set of 04 Limited rims for a decent price, with tires. Not sure if I like em though. Let me know what you think.

I like 'em.
 






I'm not sure how I feel about them yet.
 






I do like the rims, Rich. I think what's sticking is all of the black plastic on the XLS model maybe? :dunno:
 






Yeah that might be it. I might go back to my stockers. Anyone wanna buy some rims? haha
 






I like them alot. The black trim on it makes them pop and looks good with the black centercap on the rim.
 






If you're not to keen on the look you could try painting them black? Just a thought, 'cause I reckon they look alright.
 






I like em, the silver and black make em look good.
 






looks good man
 






me likey

Love the rims... but I think you nailed it. We're not used to seeing those rims with different color trim.

I got a deal on the same rims with tires. $400, I could not loose, plus I was looking for this type of rim too. I dont have any trim on mine.

Curtis, They look much more factory on yours. They blend nicer if you know what I mean. It definitely is weird because it's an XLS, But I think the trim does kind of make them pop. I think they'll look a lot nicer after I dye my trim again. But that has to wait until the spring.

Thanks man...But the more I look at your pictures, the more I like them on your truck.
Would not be any different if you went and got some aftermarket 5 spoke polished wheels... but with these your center caps match the truck and they're factory.
I say keep em!:D
 






Id love a set of these on mine or even the gen 4 limited rims.
 












I like the wheels and think they look good on your truck but I think aftermarket would look better. I have the same wheels on my '04 Limited. Some days I like them and other days I wish I had something else. You know... If I were in your position I would not be upset that I bought them.

Edit: Just wanted to add the third shot is my favorite angle for this set. They look really good there.
