XD Rockstar III Matte Black 20×9 F-150 Wheel

XD Rockstar III Matte Black 5-Lug Wheel — 20×9, -12mm Offset (1997–2003 F-150)

The XD Rockstar III brings one of the most recognizable wheel designs in the truck and off-road world to classic 1997–2003 Ford F-150 trucks. Finished in a bold Matte Black, this 5-lug wheel is engineered by XD Series — a brand synonymous with aggressive, race-inspired truck wheel styling. Sized 20×9 with a -12mm offset, the Rockstar III delivers a wide, muscular stance backed by the iconic Rockstar design heritage.

The Iconic Rockstar Design Legacy

The Rockstar wheel line has become one of the most recognizable and sought-after designs in the truck and off-road community, known for its bold, multi-spoke pattern with signature center-cap styling. The Rockstar III continues this legacy, offering classic F-150 owners a way to bring this iconic, race-inspired look to their own build.

Matte Black Finish for a Modern, Aggressive Look

The Matte Black finish gives the Rockstar III a stealthy, modern appearance that emphasizes the wheel’s bold spoke design and distinctive center styling. This finish also offers practical benefits, resisting the appearance of road grime and minor scuffs better than a glossy finish — ideal for trucks used in both daily driving and off-road conditions.

Purpose-Built Fitment for the Classic 5-Lug F-150

This wheel is specifically designed to fit 1997–2003 Ford F-150 trucks, which use a 5-lug bolt pattern distinct from later F-150 generations. Purpose-fit wheels like this ensure correct bolt pattern, hub bore, and load rating compatibility, though it’s always recommended to confirm compatibility with your specific F-150 trim and configuration.

20×9 Sizing with -12mm Offset

The 20-inch diameter and 9-inch width provide a wide, aggressive foundation for larger tire fitments, while the -12mm offset pushes the wheel outward for a noticeably wider stance. This negative offset is a popular choice among truck owners building an aggressive, filled-out look, especially when paired with a leveling kit or lift.

Durable Construction Backed by a Trusted Brand

XD Series has built a strong reputation manufacturing wheels for serious truck and off-road use, combining bold styling with genuine strength. The Rockstar III is constructed to withstand the demands of daily truck driving — including hauling, towing, and off-road use — delivering iconic style without sacrificing dependability.
