Alcoa's?

Any thoughts if I put Alcoa wheels on my 1985 F-250? Personally I think it would look good but can't seem to find any pictures of our body style of trucks with them on. This is my truck below

I googled it some, they don't look much different from stock, at least to my eyes. Several styles came up, google made it sound like they were stock for bricknose trucks. Holes look a little undersized for what I'm used to looking at. But yeah, should look good. Not like some western turbines or anything... lol But I like what you've got better than anything google showed me(besides my coveted western turbines I'll someday own).

I am currently on the fence about getting a set as well. Hard part is getting the center caps...

Big Blackie - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible) This is currently my inspiration for my truck.

I personally think that they look good on pretty much any older truck and amazing on trailers, especially our cattle trailer

My truck has them and I really like the look of them. You can still buy them new. I agree that they look great on trailers also. Eventually I want to get 4 new ones and put my current ones on the trailer.

Haha thanks. The 80 pulling it isn't quite as shiny.

167041 I believe is the part number

From my limited parking lot research, the Ford Alcoa's from the later gens (while still 8x6.5) look the same but they have notches around the center hole.

Where can you find and order the new ones? Also what could I expect as far as pricing?

Looks like they are around 250/each. Alcoa distributes through Haltec and I believe buytruckwheels is an official distributor. The latter offers the rear/closed caps and lugs for 299 looks like. Last I checked, the front open ended covers (4wd) are obsolete. I don't know if the later Ford covers will work with them or not.
