Wheel question for my tow rig...
« on: May 05, 2005, 10:40:16 PM »
Heres the deal:  My 92 F250 has crappy steel wheels and hubcaps on it.  I want a set of Ford factory alloy wheels for it, but they cost an arm and a leg for the old style wheels.  Ford switched from the 8 on 6.5" lug pattern I have to the new 8 on 170mm lug pattern in 1998.  Newer factory alloys can be had for a song on eBay all day, but can't be used on my old truck...

The $10000 question: Does anybody have a set of the factory Ford alloy wheels offered on the early powerstrokes (96-97)? they'd like to get rid of?  Of course they need to be purdy and have the lugnuts and center caps  :gap:

For some reason, I just cant find a set of aftermarket wheels that I'd be willing to install on my nice DD truck...The factory ones just look so "right".

Have you check with "Mid-night auto supply"? I hear they have a good "five finger discount"!  :laugh:
