Wheel question

Finally got back to working on my truck after 4 months of kitchen remodel for the wife....and I have a question for those in the know....I'm looking for temporary wheels to put on my truck so I can get it back into a roller while the original wheels are out for blasting and painting.

What vehicles have the 5 on 5.5 15" or 16" wheels? I'm not looking for anything nice...just basic steel rims to use during buildup.

Your typical F-150 up to 1997 used that wheel. Keep an eye on craigslist. Cheap roller sets come up all the time.

Wayne has you covered, but I'd add that the '97 model half ton should be avoided. That's the first year for the metric pattern on the half tons. The 3/4 HD model in '97 was still using the old pattern, but the rest had gone metric.

Too bad you aren't closer. I have a set of 5 I've been trying to sell on CL for some time for only $20 a piece...
