Hello all, I scored a set of some what I think are rare factory option rims from the late 70s at picknpull this weekend. My question is does anyone know the name of them? I don't seem to be able to find hardly any info, pictures, or the specific name of them. Any info would be great, I think they are pretty sweet and I have only ever seen one other truck (78 bronco) with these before.

 

What makes you think they're factory rims? Not that this means much, but I don't recognize them. Is there a Ford stamping on them?

 

My dad's '83 came with those wheels.

 

Yeah, those look early 80s

 

Yes they are Ford stamped, I've heard they were introduced in 77 but haven't found a name or any pictures of them in vintage brochures from that period.

E2TZ-1007-A .. Cast Aluminum Styled Wheel ~ 15" x 6" / 1982/84 E/F100/150 & Bronco.

Styled steel and aluminum wheels were introduced in 1977 for F100/150 & E150, 1978 for Bronco, but this wheel wasn't introduced until 1982.

Strange, thanks for the info. So I guess type12 is probably the only name given to these.
