Craigslist score!
Had to share my excitement! Got them for $70 bucks, which included lug nuts and center caps! I love the old stuff. I almost passed on them, because I read the add wrong and thought they were 16.5's
Set of (4) 8-Lug Aluminum Wheels 16" x 6.5" Dodge, Chevy or Ford

Sweet! Congrats!
Btw, be mindful when mounting that they "spin" in the same direction. I've seen lots of cars and trucks with those wheels where they were mismatched side-for-side.
Using that CL post's pic for reference, the wheels on the left are for the passenger side and the driver side wheels are on the right of the image.

Thanks Guys, I did not know or think about the directional spin, I'm sure they will be in the garage for a while, they are restorable, I just discovered that the lug nuts are for the larger diameter studs, but I can't complain.

I recommend marking 'em left and right for reference. Good tire techs will notice that they are directional... most however will not.

Those are nice rims. I had a set on my 89 f-250. The directional spin will mess with you when it comes time to rotate them.. lol
Nice score though
