Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a set of 16 inch ALLOY rims to suit my project F350? 8 stud Dana rear. Second-hand is fine, or does anyone know someone who is bringing a container back from the USA soon? If so I might buy a new set and get them sent over. Thanks all! Austruck.

You need to specify your year of manufacture.Trucks built after 97 have a metric stud pattern and won't fit the pre 97 hubs

Haha whoops! Yep should have told you, it's a '76 F350 dually, currently running the original split rims... Sorry about that. I can get a new set of Eagle alloys for $330 a rim, here in Brisbane. Does this sound like a good price?

Can't say about the price of your rims.New 8 stud wheels are usually harder to get I remember from my 79 F250 days. You also need to be aware that there are countersunk and non countersunk stud holes.So you can get tapered wheel nuts and flat ones.The last 3 F350's I've had have had flat nuts.
