Well I would sell my set of slots for 2600 and give you my set of turbines to boot....even 900 is crazy.
Here is a different set I have waiting in the barn for the bronco some day, Allied Rockathon 32 bolt bead locks. I will mount them when I get done wearing out the boggers.

I've never been a fan of turbines/cyclones/hurricanes on our trucks, to me they seem better suited on an 80's era Econoline van.
I couldn't even sell a set on Craigslist for 50 bucks, i ended up just setting them by the side of the road and someone picked them up.

I will concede; however, that the $1150 turbines on e-bay (restored and painted) do look pretty sweet!
Ever since I had the dually, I've been a big fan of the "classic" Alcoa design. I keep looking for some nice M/T's or Eagle 058's in 16.5 8x6.5 for the yellow truck...

I like those Jackmans, the others... I'm not so sure about yet, they look like there missing a center cap or something... idk, they just look a bit off... Don't get me wrong i like em, but it just seems like somethings missing...

You can find them in a 5 on 5 1/2 15" for a 1/2 ton and in a 8 on 6 1/2 16.5" for a 3/4 ton. As far as I know the 3/4 ton ones are not made in 16" and 16.5 tires are hard to locate.
Sounds like you can get them for "free" to 1000 of dollars.....I would guess 300 to 400 can buy a set off the Craigslist?

I really want to remove the stock 16.5 on my 74CS. The wheel I think I like is the American Torque Thrust D, but I am not sure I can simply go up to a 17" wheel. Some have said it will work some say no way.

If looking to 16" rims to give you a better range and availability of tires, I think the only issue might be on a F250 D60 axle duel front piston brake caliper clearance.
Also all depends on the offset/back spacing (google it to get smart) amount you get of you new rims. I am sure the tire/wheel shop will assist you on that.
