Looking for 16.5 rims for my 2001 Excursion

I cracked a rim and have been driving on a spare for quite some time. I can't seem to locate a new one. They don't make them anymore?? I can't afford to buy a whole new set for my truck. Any suggestions on where to look? I am recently single and my ex used to do all of this, so I'm not sure how to go about this.

What wheels do you have that are 16.5"? Are they stock Ford rims?

Maybe the previous owner switched them out for 16.5's. I've had good luck looking in your local craigs list online under auto parts. Typically they sell in sets of 4, but you might get lucky.

You may want to give some thought to the 16.5 rims. I have them on another vehicle and it’s very difficult to find tires. Most companies on produce 16, 17, 18, etc.

16.5 are a dying breed of tire. Try to google them and see what comes up.

Plus, Ford stock 16" wheels are very easy to get. Even if you could only afford to replace 2 at a time. (one axle at a time.)
