looking for pictures of ford's with these wheels...

I'm looking for a set of these for my 75 2WD Super Cab.

http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/gr...766_2_1000.jpg

I like the "nasty" look of them and would get some that are 8" wide to accommodate a 265 tire in a 16" or possibly a 15".

Would love to see some pictures of trucks that have this wheel in black with a wide tire. I wouldn't use wheel covers, just the black rim.

Let's see some trucks.

I had a set of the 16.5 "super single" rims from a SCS on the back of my '55 f250, with 33x12.50 tires. That looked pretty nasty, no pics unfortunately.

Myfreeford,

Those look just like Ford factory steel rims. I have a set of those waiting to go on to my truck ('79 F350 4x4).

They are brand new, black, all steel, 8 lug, 16x7 with the correct size centre bore for Ford hubs (larger diameter than GM or Dodge)...and would work fine with a 265 tire.

Sorry, no pics, but they look exactly like the pic in the link in your initial post. I believe they were designed/built for the modern E350; the date stamp on the rim says 2010.

These wheels have been around for decades, most of them built for Ford by Accuride...but now made in Brazil by Fumagalli. You could find a set for cheap in almost any junkyard, often in white, silver or gray. Just blast 'em off and paint or coat them in black.

I've done this several times...I like the Ford steelies and have mounted them on other brands of trucks. I like to run them with "cookie cutter" hub caps...not full wheel covers. I also like the look of a black rim, no hub cap or wheel cover of any kind, but long, chromed lug nuts and a chrome trim ring.

Good luck,
