Factory alcoas

Hey guys,
I am working on getting a 95 f350 centurion from a buddy and the truck has the early star/ 5 spoke alcoas on it. However, it is missing one of the fronts. My friend got the truck this way and the previous owners will not answer his calls. I heard they were recalled but the Alcoa tsb only says it's their aftermarket sets? Also how hard are they to get ahold of? A quick Google search brought up nothing. Thanks guys
Ryan

Ford never used the 5 stars on the OBS trucks. So that would make it an aftermarket. Are you even sure they are Alcoas? I am pretty sure they not

1st you need to find out what brand they truly are. Then a part number would help dramatically.

Alcoa NO LONGER sells 16" aluminum wheels. What they have left in their stock is for RECALLS ONLY

Pics of the wheel in question?

I know on most car wheels have stamps on the inner spokes but do the duallys have them since the can go on the front or back? Anything else I should be looking?

There are wheels made for front and rear. The front wheel will be stamped on the inside

The rear will be stamped on the outside
