Factory Wheels

Where could I find a set of factory type wheels for my 1966 F100? I'm not stuck on the exact wheels but something that looks factory will work for me. I just don't like the hotrod look and when I purchased my truck, it came with some newer styled mag wheels. Kind of silly on a 6 banger Slick, if you ask me.

Thanks in advance.

15" 5 lug 5.50" bolt circle wheels: 1953/79 F100 / 1966/96 Bronco / 1969/74 E200 / 1975/96 F150 / 1975/2013 E150 / 1979/83 E100 / Some 1980/83 F100.

Caveat Emptor - Let the buyer beware. Some 1980/83 F100's have 15" 5 lug 4.50" bolt circle wheels.

Shouldn't be too difficult a find in wrecking yards, most '66 thru 80's 1/2 ton pickups and vans came with the steel 15" bump type wheel as shown in photo. Finding a clean straight '66 F 100 hubcap is much more difficult.

I think he's making a clock out of it. Just my guess

There are several silver sets on Ebay right now. I feel lucky, I found a set of powder coated caps for either $60 or $80 a couple years ago. I painted the back grounds and they came out great.

I told him what I thought it was worth (I've kinda lost track, so probably 1/2 of what you'd want for it ).

Told him if he made a clock oughtta it (like he did with those F250 caps), I'd drive to Tucson and pour molasses in his house paint!

Innie style wheels require the older bottlecap style hubcap, but they still have the same bolt pattern as the bump style wheels.
