Looking for OBS wheels

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any cheap OBS modular aluminum wheels for sale? A friend of mine bought back his grandpa's '96 F-250 7.3, which his estate had sold about ten years ago. The second owner restored the truck, but they removed the factory aluminum wheels and replaced with some aftermarket chrome spoke wheels (similar to a trailer wheel). He really wants factory wheels back on since that's what he remembers from when his grandpa had it.

Nick said he is willing to trade the chrome wheels if someone is interested, but not the tires. These chrome wheels haven't been on very long, maybe 10k miles. Below is a picture of the truck with these wheels.

If anyone knows of any, I'll put you in touch with Nick. He lives in Berkley, in SE MI, and would prefer some locally.

Thanks,
Jon

Hey Jon, long time no see!

I did see a set of these somewhere recently. Let me see if I can find them again. I wanna say it was on FB marketplace.

Hey Rich, good to hear from you! I was absent for a bit, but mostly just lurk these days haha.

Let me know if you come across those wheels again, thanks.

Hey Chad! Thanks for the link, I didn't realize they had some that old. I've used them as a reference before, for newer wheels. Unfortunately I know my friend's budget is small, so $195 a piece is too much. Maybe if it was for the set. He thinks of this mod as a would very much like to have, but not necessary thing, since there's nothing wrong with the wheels he has now aside from correctness. I will let him know regardless.
