Orginal factory wheel replacement

Does anyone know of a place that I could find a set of four wheels that came on the 92-96 F150? I would like to replace mine with the same kind that came on my 95. Mine are getting really bad with alot of rust down inside the wheel. Here's a picture of what my wheels look like. Note the picture was taken 7 years ago.

I've seen quite a few of that style at junkyards. Most aren't in too bad shape either.

You might ask around at a body shop, or a tire & wheel shop, too... some guys trade their old wheels in when they switch them for new tires & wheels. But the scrap yard is probably your best bet. I've seen all sorts of original wheel types in the boneyards.

FTE sponsor NEW TAKE OFF sells Ford wheels (take off: new wheels, etc that are removed when custom wheels, etc are installed).

you can probably get a set of aluminum rims for close to the same price, and they dont rust! unless you want the same look

If you buy aftermarket wheels make sure you have them run out on a balancer before you mount tires on them. Some of them are out of round pretty bad. I bought 4 from Summit a few years back and ended up sending 2 of the 4 back. It wasn't a problem and they replaced them at no cost.....just the time.
Next time I'll spend a few extra bucks and buy from a local shop so they can hopefully find 4 good ones.
Nothing like an OEM wheel.....
Good Luck
