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?

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
