I have some 2015 6-spokes on my 2013 F150 and was wondering if anyone knows if these could handle the weight on the Lightning?
Wheels from a standard F150

An excellent question. I wonder too because aluminum wheels corrode and need to be replaced after several years. Most people don't consider load ratings on wheels (or tires for that matter) but certainly should.

The wheels would be fine, remember a regular F150 has a higher load capacity. The corrosion comment is a very valid consideration.

What type of corrosion do y'all see on aluminum wheels? I'm in Texas and don't have any.

Like this but can be worse. Older trucks require grinding inside to get the bead to seat and not leak.
It would have to be pretty substantial alloy corrosion on a wheel to consider replacing it. I had a 2008 Tundra and the wheels were fine until I sold it a few months ago. It was mostly the finish flaking a little.

Yep, clear coat fails. Starts looking really bad.
I tried refinishing a pair if silverado wheels. Not worth it, not even a little bit.
