Need help finding a specific style wheel..

For my 06 F350 SD.

Have any of you guys ever seen this style wheel for a SuperDuty before?? If so, who's selling them??

I think this was made by American Racing, it was called the Vector. It was popular in the late 70's.

That's correct. I have them on my General Lee. I'm hoping to find a set that's close to this style for my SD but AR isn't making them any more.

You can't say something like that around a bunch of late 30 & early 40 year olds without a picture.

It's going to be difficult if not impossible to find a set of wheels in that style for your SD. That is a really old design and even if you could find a set from that era, it most likely will not be the correct bolt pattern to fit your modern SD.

Do you not like the contemporary wheels designs or are you going for a "retro" look on your SD?

I just like that style wheel, AND when I pick up my trailer this spring and bring the General to shows, it'd be cool if all the wheels matched.

Monsta, this Bud's for you!!

Here's the General with my buddy's Impala:



Here he is alone:



Here he is with my buddy's '70 T/A:



And with a brand new (crate) 472 Hemi it's gonna be a fun year!!
