Does anyone know.......
Where I can pick up a set of wheels like the ones posted below?
I have been searching high & low in the local area & haven't been to successful about finding any. I would love to have them on my 88 F-150. The size that I need is 15" with 5 @ 5.5.
New or used, it doesn't matter as long as they are in decent condition.

Two thoughts:
1- Check with the manufacturer to see if they have some old stock left. I don't think they are made any longer, and you may have to try and find a nice used set. Here's the link:

2- Also, there's a guy here in Osseo runs a shop called "The Tire Guy". This guy has pulled more than a few rabbit's out of his hat with odd-ball stuff for me. Maybe give him a call @ 763-425-7603. If he doesn't have email I could easily print the pic and take it to him. Let me know, he's only about 2 miles away.

Cool! Thanks, I just took care of it.
I don't get around here very often, and when I do I forget the details on how the place works.
One day I'd like to get some pix of my truck up on here, but that's a challenge for another day...

Subcoolman, (what a user id)
I forgot to tell you that I have recieved your email. I do want to thank you for your help, I'm going to start calling that man & bug the crap out of him - maybe he'll find a new or used set for me just to keep me from calling.
Those things are hard to find, I've been looking everywhere & will continue until I have a set. I've seen them on eBay, but unfortunatly they were 16" with the 8 lug pattern.

I was just going to say ebay but apparently you are already checking into that option. The only problem I have found with ebay for larger items is the shipping. You want to check the shipping calculator before bidding. I was going to bid on a set of rims and it was going to cost more to ship them than what the winning bid turned out to be.

Actually that is where I stole that picture from is ebay. But those were 16" wheels.
I have bought chrome stock wheels off ebay for the F-150. Only paid $30.00 to have them shipped to me from Michigan. I'm going to have to use the stock wheels until I find what I really want, it's better then steel wheels with hubcaps.
Now if I can find the time to finish the truck, but that is a different story all together.

Hey, I missed this post- I thought you had this over in the Minnesota Chapter area and I was wondering how you erased my reply! (Duh...)
I've been looking at the Truck Trader online for a set for you as well. I'll let you know if anything comes up.
BTW, "subcooling" is just a thermodynamics term used in refrigeration. The basis of refrigeration is actually "superheating", but I really couldn't go around calling myself "superhotguy", now could I?

I may have found some, nothing definate yet but it sounds promising.
Someone answer my FTE classified ad saying they had some for sale. Now just waiting for some pics to come & hopefully I can make this a done deal.
