Ford made two different wheels for the 250LDs and 7700s (what the 250LDs became in 2000)
Unfortunately the difference is not in the design, only the finish. XLTs and Lariats came with a chrome coating and chromed center cap. The XLs came in argent grey with matching center caps.
There are a few aftermarket manufacturers that made the 7 lug design, but they are limited. iirc Weld and American wheel made some aftermarket designs.

You know what makes that chrome wheel weird? Some people have an issue with rust on these "chromed" wheels.
