OBS Alcoa Wheels???
I just went to a local online auction and found these Alcoa wheels. I won the lot and of course I did my research after the fact... I was just so excited to find them. I discovered that they look exactly like the Alcoa 10 hole iteration for the earlier OBS F150's except for a couple details, notably the rivets/nubs whatever you call them on these are very different from what I'm now seeing online. Any thoughts? Do these look like anything any of you are sporting? Oops!!! I also just noticed the lack of the 3 holes that connect the center caps...crud...
The dingy set is what I just bought, the one wheel is what I pulled of the interweb.

Yeah, the more I look around, I think I bought something entirely different. Oh well. If I have to turn around and sell the lot, I think I'll get my money back. I only spent $50 and there's tons more wheels and tires in it. Including a fuel tank to God knows what.

Those steel rims are called chrome-nuggets. I don't remember who the manufacture is, but you could buy the steel rims from 4wheelparts all day long back in the day.
They're an aftermarket rim but many auto manufactures made versions of them for their own cars... Or maybe the dealers installed them. Toyota used them back in the mid 80's.

The photo you pulled off the internet is an aluminum rim. Different animal.
