I am thinking of getting a new set of rims for my white F-150. What do you guys think of this gloss black MO991 Moto Metal Wheels?

There are worse options. What's wrong with the factory wheels?
 
Have you looked at the weight difference?

Offset? (yay unit bearings)

From what I understand (which is usually very limited with the 2 marbles I have rolling around up there) the stock RAPTOR wheels are pretty damn light (for a reason) and aftermarkets are significantly heavier

I think your understanding is not fully correct, as most stock wheels are pretty heavy, and are actually designed to carry a rated load under a ton of potential circumstances. Whereas aftermarket wheels are designed to visually appealing to a certain demographic and be as cheap to make as possible, and, tertiarily meet minimum weight carrying requirements. Obviously there is overlap between the design drivers of OEM and aftermarket, but one comes with a 3 year 36k mile warranty or more, and the other promises the chrome won't flake for 6 months.

My comment was SPECIFIC to the Raptor (alone), and not a general statement

Doesn't really matter to me. I just wanted to use tertiarily in a sentence today so my mission was accomplished. :cool:

Doesn't matter. tertiarily was used....in a matter of hours "strawman" will be brought out and the flaming bottle thrown at the dumpster will bring the crowd
 
The weight of the wheel from the manufacturer is moot because weight will be added in the balancing of said wheel. You also have to consider if the op will be using air or nitrogen. And tertiarily, i'm not very good at strawman yet but im not bad with ad hominems. Yall are both ugly and stupid.
