I bought some off of eBay, they showed up yesterday. 16.5" They cost me $280 plus shipping, for a total of $440. If you can find them locally, you can get a much better deal. I'm very happy with them, they have no curb rash or scratches.
I was going to leave them with their faded finish, but hickory, now that I see your shiny slots, I may have to polish mine up, too!
Sorry for the hijack, 1974F26. If you go with a set of steel wheels, let me know, I have a decent set of 8-lug factory hub caps you can have...a few dings and scratches, but still quite nice. Somewhere on here, there is a thread on how to cut the center out of the front caps (just like in red's photo) for your hubs. They end up looking great.

Very nice. Mine are 8.75. I'm still deciding between those exact BFG's and more of an old school-looking Firestone TransForce HT.

What search terms are being used for CL searches? Love the slots, also like the blade style wheels although I'm not sure what they are called.
@hickory, very nice looking truck by the limited pic you posted.

I usually select "auto parts" and then search using just "slots". If I use the word "wheels", I get too many unrelated ads.
Since you have an F-150, have you considered the factory aluminum slots?

If you like the steel rim look you can go with new econoline wheels. They did not switch to metric unlike the trucks. Mine are new take-offs from a 2011 in 16x7. The only downside is they do not have lugs for the dog dish hubcaps but only fulltime 4x4s had the option of hubcaps so nota big deal.

Hey 74, here are your steel wheels. 
The only problem is that they have old tires on them, and it might be difficult to get the seller to remove them, and ship the wheels. But you don't know if you don't try. You can find these locally if you are patient and search.

Yeah I like the wagon wheels too but my truck is kind of off white so the white on the wheels wouldn't look right. Cragar makes a chrome version of their wagon wheels that I think would look cool.
