Does anyone have a suggestion where I might find the chrome OEM steelies for the '96-ish era F150s?

I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area if it makes a difference, although I don't mind paying shipping if the overall cost of a set is reasonable.

 

Think your best bet will be bone yards and or ebay recyclers. Sadly paying shipping is going to be the only way a guy will ship a over sized heavy item to you ... The days of cheap shipping are long over. go to www. LKQ they may have a set or four for that matter but, I'll tell you now they know what they have and what people will pay... Long run it may be better to go aftermarket to be honest.

 

Go to Ebay and search seller wheels_tires_more and check out what they have. I bought a set of factory 10 hole Alcoas from them and couldn't be happier. They look like they're brand-new. These particular wheels are *impossible* to find without any corrosion damage to the edge from the wheel weights. These were perfect! Another nice thing is that they ship to you for free...worth a try, IMHO.

Can get a set of them used here. Hope this helps

 

Indeed those are the ones I'm looking for, but at $640/set not including caps or nuts it's not really what I had in mind.

I do appreciate the response.

 

no problem. I was looking for those for awhile but after seeing the price i have decided to go after market. 15 Inch Wheels Rims Ford F150 Dodge Ram Jeep CJ 5x5.5 | eBay

those are the ones i will be probably going with.

 

I have a set of the Acola ones that are for sale.

 

Not free, but under $100 per copy in a decent 7 or 8 inch width. They don't come bent and rusted either....

The problem with those (and I had a pair) is they rust so dang fast no matter how much you clean and polish them its sad really cause I have always liked the way they look.
