I think ford started painting the wheels argent in 85.
I called the "cream" colored wheel white. Well, it is kind of a off white isn't it?

From what i remember the small bolt pattern on the f-100's ment it had power brakes and the large bolt pattern ment it had manual brakes. my 85 had the argent factory wheels on it with the dog dish hub cabs. I put a set of wagon wheels on it and it looks lots better. i still have the dog dish hub caps but got rid of the rims.

I have a 1981 service specs manual here somewhere, yes...
It tells all of the wheels bolt patterns, the size of wheels, what size and style tires, etc
I don't want to write a book here, so I'll try and scan the page later.

Thank you all for the opinions and info.

while we're on the subject, I have the standard steel wheels with the hubcaps that cover the whole wheel. I REALLY like the white spoke wagon wheels that came on some of them stock (mine's a 1980 f100).
I've seen the new knockoff's that summit racing makes and they have the little red and blue pinstrip on the outer portion of the rim, but I don't like how shiny they are.
Do any of you know if the stock white wagon wheels (NOT KNOCKOFFS) are pretty easy to find and where would be a good place to look? I've hit up a couple salvage yards locally, but they didn't have anything.

I am not sure but I think the white ford wagon wheels are the same as the later argent wagon wheels that ford used up untill 1991. The only difference is the color, and the argent ones had a polished beauty ring with a red stripe. Also the hub cap is black plastic on the white wheels, while the argent ones used a chrome hub cap.

the argent color wheels with the chrome ring even have the mountings to put hubcaps like the ford corperate so yeah i think they are the same.... my 84 had the argent with chrome ring when i got it, i put a set of aluminum wheels on it that i got for 100 bucks but i kept my old wheels and stored them in the upstairs of my garage in case i ever wanna switch back.
