The round ones.

Seriously though, what are the specs of the truck? What color, 4x4, 4x2 etc. If you have a picture of it that would help greatly too.

I am checking out tirerack.com, they have a feature that lets you view the wheels on your truck. Not exactly the same color truck, but close enough for comparison.

1989 Ford F150 2wd Pick-up

Here's a few I liked. Not sure what size you want to run, how much you want to spend, etc. so I just picked some at random. I'm not a big fan of "busy" wheels or blingy stuff on this era of trucks so they're simple designs. I think black wheels would look great on that truck and go with your theme with the headlight covers blacked out.

If you don't want to spend a lot, maybe find some factory aluminum rims and have them powdercoated black? or maybe a gunmetal color. Even more budget friendly, have the wheels sandblasted and use Duplicolor wheel paint.

I say chrome or aluminum with 8 or 10 holes.

What about 92-96 wheels like the ones I have?

Use them in Spring, Summer and Fall only. The salt on the roads around here will pit the wheels.

Thanks for the compliment.

I like your F100 too. I used to have an 85 F150 that was almost the same color. I like the brown and tan. Is yours tan or white?
