Source for steel rims
Does anyone know where I could get plain ol' 16"
steel rims with the 5 lug bolt pattern. What is the bolt circle on a F-150 anyway?
Thanx for any help.

Both do mail order. Or you could try Carparts.com.
If I was going to buy cheap rims, I'd just hit the junkyard and get them for $10 each.
Ties.com has white steelies for about $30 each and the size for stock is 15x8 5-139.7mm or 5-5.5 in inches.
Good Luck

Stock wheels for an F100 or F150 are 15" wheels on a 5x5 1/2 in pattern. You ought to be able to pick them up from just about any junkyard in the $25.00 range.

Dan- If you really want 16 inch wheels, head for the salvage yard and look at wheels on a half ton dodge from the mid 90's. They have the same 5x5 1/2 pattern as you do and some came with 16's. DF

Thanks for the input guys. My local salvage yards aren't that well stocked with the later models it seems. I finally found some on the net at a yard in Indiana off a 97 Ford F150. Yes, I was wanting the 16's instead of 15's.

The '97-up F-150's have different bolt patterns than the older F-150's. They won't work for you. Best bet for cheap 16" steelies would be from American Racing or take a look at some of the 4x4 mag advertisers. You could probably pick up steel wheels at about $60 each.

Yep, You are correct, I just wasted my money.
Every time I try to save some money I end up spending 3 times what I would have if I had just bit the bullet and not tried to bargain shop.
I just wish you had responded sooner.
