Yeah its the 8 lug wheels that need the larger shank if you have 1/2 inch studs on the axle. They can be used with 9/16 studs and lugs also..

I've got turbines on my '73 F100 but prefer the look of the slots. Maybe after I clean them up they'll look a lot nicer.

Got some turbines with my '79 250. Love the look. Gotta take some cleaner to the fronts though, because brake dust discolored them over the years.

The only thing I hate is they are 16.5. Makes finding tires interesting.

Here is a set I found on my local craigslist. It will probably cost you more to ship them than it did to purchase them...

8 LUG ALUMINUM TRUCK RIMS

Dude you better buy them......at that price + shipping has to be better than 900. Or get a local FTE Indiana fella (noltingc81) hint hint to purchase and ship for you, if seller does not want to mess with shipping.

These types of wheels pop on Craigslist quite often. At least in my neck of the woods that is.

I can try to get ahold of this guy for you if you want me to. Shoot me a PM or something. I'd be happy to help ya out.

I looked to ebay when I needed new lug nuts. They (oddly enough) were the cheapest place.
Not to totally hijack, but I like that the H2 rims look like a modern version of the old turbine rims. I got a set because they were cheap and use modern sized tires.
