I'm looking at a 1966 Ford F100 and the rims I'm looking to get are Wheel Vintiques 62-Series O.E. Chevy/Ford and it will be 15x8, 5x5.5, 4.00. And I found a set of 5 dog dish hubcaps that are 9 1/2" (C4OZ-1130-A) on eBay and want to know asap if these will hubcaps will fit to the rims. But I did find a website that has the same caps of a 1960-70 Ford Falcon 9 1/2" or 10 1/2".

cheap used steel wheels for '66 F100 SWB FS
Looking for some inexpensive steel wheels to use at least short term for storage, if not long term use (painted with a simple hubpcap) after restoring.
I have a 1966 F100 SWB Flare Side. Currently not running.
It came with 15" aftermarket aluminum wheels and old dry-rotted tires that literally would not hold air for more than 15 mins..
I got a set of used tires and had them installed, only to discover the aluminum wheels are so corroded that two of them will not hold air for more than about a week.
I saw the great info at the top of the post re interchangeability: 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle: 1940/48 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars; 1948/52 F1; 1953/79 F100; 1966/96 Bronco; 1969/74 E200; 1975/96 F150; 1975/2015 E100/150; Some 1980/83 F100.
But I am not sure where to find those kinds of wheels, short of a swap meet.
From the above list, I am thinking the 1975 to 2015 E100/E150 is the most likely thing I could find.
I keep thinking there has to be something easy to find that fits. Like some wheel or full size spare off a common vehicle.
Has anyone cracked the code and found something that would work?
Like maybe a crown vic or early explorer SUV spare?
