Help identifying wheel

I hope somebody can help me identify this steel wheel. I have 3 of them from an 87 F150 and would like to find at least 1 more.

Those were used for the spare tire I believe.

Entirely possible, but I have never seen another one and I have plenty of wheels. Strangely, three of these were on the truck underneath the full wheel covers and they are the same diameter, (15") offset and width as the standard steel wheels. 4th wheel was a standard one, also under a full wheel cover. Really hoping to find some sort of OEM number or reference for them.

Little more info because it's not easy to see on the pic. There is a Ford logo stamped in the center along with "95" and "D" and "4" on the pads between the lugnuts.

Without laying in wet gravel, I'd have to say it's like the factory spare on my 94 too. Came with Alcoas.

it was a factory spare wheel on quite a few 92-96 F150s. i have amassed a short stack of them (maybe 10?) over the years.

A dog dish hubcap will fit on it, btw.

Those are the spares for a 92-96 F-150. They were silver from the factory so someone probably painted yours black (makes the rim less visible underneath the hubcap).

Stock F150 steel wheel from the 92-96 era. That was the BASE wheel and had dog dish hubcap on it.

And it is NOT a crown vic wheel, they are a smaller 5 on 4.5 pattern

Well, checked a long forgotten 92 F150 out in the field of dreams and sure enough, found 1 rim on it as I needed. Likely had been the spare at one time, but like Brad says, these were the base wheels in 92 to 96. All of mine do not appear to have been repainted and are the original black.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
