Rim search
Hey guys and gals,
I have been unable to find replacement studs to fit my newer style Ford rims. I don't feel safe or satisfied with the way they fit. I am thinking about going with a turbine/hurricane style wheels. I am looking for them in 5x5.5 16x7. Does anyone know of where I could find some? I have done some searching and am not coming up with anything in that size.
The style I am looking for looks like these

Nothing in the 16x7 variety currently, but I check CL daily and ebay once a week.
The 15's are seeming easier to find, possibly because they are not what I am looking for. You know how you can always find everything but what you are after. I am looking for 16s because I have brand new tires on the current 16inch rims that I want to swap over. I also like the look of the 16s.

When you figure in all the cost of buying replacement wheels plus braking down & re-mounting & balancing.
Those Aluminum wheels mounting base is pretty thick and still don't have that much stud left for the lug nuts.
But your not racing your truck or putting any high TQ doing burn outs so should not be of any real danger just of loosing a wheel just recheck the bolt TQ on them every few mouths like with all Aluminum wheels as your suppose to do.
Ps the 73's & up have longer hub studs better to holding these on.

With the added thickness of the aluminum wheel and the washers the studs are not long enough. Also I have not been able to find this type lug in anything but metric thread.
