Finding original or repo 1966 Ford F100 Wheels

I want to first start by saying that I think I've read every post on wheels and hubcaps for 1966 Ford F100 pickups....so thank all of you who took the time over the years to provide information.

I am trying to take my 66 F100 back to a mostly original truck and I guess I either missing something or maybe they are just hard to find but I can't seem to track down any white painted steel wheels from the year...even any reproduction wheels? I've look on the internet at a bunch of sites, called several companies and tried ebay over the past month...nothing.

Any help is appreciated....thanks.

Depends on which wheels you are looking for they came in several sizes and styles. If you want the 16x5 w/ the outside hubcap bumps, then yeah they are tough to find. The early bronco guys want them too.....
I had a set of 5, sold the best 3 the other 2 are in pretty poor shape.
15 inch wheels should not be that hard to find...

Why are you only looking for white wheels? While many were painted white originally, some were painted black, red or whatever. Replacements beginning circa 1968 were painted argent.

And are they 15" or 16" and are they innies or outies? Last year for innies was 1966, outies introduced in 1965, any F100/150 5 lug 5.50" bolt circle outie wheel will fit thru 1996, ditto 1975/2013 E150's.

I have a couple of such wheels that will eventually be available when I switch to my stock innie '64 wheels I found a couple of years ago. 16". I've seen them at the local wrecking yard, but didn't need them, so didn't do anything about them. Where are you located?

My 66 f100 4x4 had the 15" outie wheels that were standard for years , should be easily available.

Hey ND....I want white because it is a standard cab and currently has white bumpers, white grill, etc. Just thought it would look good...no other reason than that. Believe I need 5 lug 5.50" bolt circle innie wheels to fit the hubcaps that have a 9 1/2" O/A diameter.
