rim questions

Hey guys im kinda confused and trying to figure this out i hope you can help. im posting in this forum since i figure you play with rims and tires a good bit for offroad.

Okay i have a 1980 ford f 150 4 x4. I love the looks of the rims they used in 87 to 95 factory. First im trying to find out the factory specs on them like offset backspacing rim width etc. Then also can you suggest maybe an aftermarket rim that looks close to these? Also i notice most aftermarket rims say they come with caps but what happens for caps for the 4wheel drive hub? Maybe some good websites to purchase them from. Im kinda a newb when it comes to rim selection so any help would really be appreciated.

4 wheel drive hub caps are open on both ends to allow the hub to poke through, so you can turn your lockouts. Rear hub caps are closed on the outside end, usually with a logo on them, so they look purdy.

after researching through the sites i think i am going to go with the outlaw II rims from american racing, they look pretty close to what ive seen on the 90 ford pickups.
