I found these for $110 each. I think they will look good on the truck. Thanks, Pickupman.



They are Eagle Alloys.

Oooo... yeah, those look good, I like those too. :)
The first thing I looked hard for was they didn't have the fake rivets. :)
I had a set just like those on order for almost a year but they stopped
making them in 16x7". :/

My '91 F150 and my "new" '91 Bronco both have these stock wheels
with the fake "blingy" rivets... (5on5.5 15x7.5)
http://www.panix.com/~alvinj/file12/BroncoDamage.jpg

I've measured and decided from only that, that 8" wheels were a little
bit too wide for 235/85-16's but what I really would like to do is see a
235/85-16 mounted on a 8" wheel and might change my mind. ??

Hmmm... I bet the guys at the tire shop could arrange that for me. ;)

Don't you know you can mount your own tires?

If I pull the trigger on these, I will be sure to post pics of them mounted on my 235/85-16s.

LOL :)
But I ain't got a 16x8" wheel, see? :)

Yeah, I've been doing that forever, I always ask about pricing without valve
stems and install and balancing and "road hazard" and all that. :)

I fix my own flats, why pay and then wait longer than it'd take to do it myself
at home?

Also have my own balancer. ;)
Its an extra I beam and rotor with the spring removed from the grease seal,
the bearings cleaned of grease and the bearings simply oiled.

I clamp the sucker in the outdoor vise and its sensitive to 1/4oz if I'm patient.
I can check for crooked wheels with it and a "Sharpie", easy as pie. ;)

This came up on a reloading website forum of all things about being illegal or
something to re-use tire weights. That's just plain silly and has more to do
with installation errors than anything else, IMO. Me, I never use more than
1+1/4oz weights, I feel as though that's enough for one clip. A re-bent clip
theoretically is stronger than the new clip, baring rusty condition.

Alvin is crazier than you thought in AZ

Cool thanks. :)
Not sure pictures will do it but a couple at the right angles just might. :)

Alvin.... ALL of my trucks have 16x8" rims,
my 63 has them with 305/75/16
my 66 has them with 265/75/16
my 73 has them with 235/85/16
my 77 has them with 255/85/16

Take a look in my gallery, the 235's look and fit just fine

Nice choice terceslil, I had those on my 99 SD I had

Okay, I found a local 4x4 shop that is very competitive with his prices. So, instead of ordering the wheels online and being screwed by a seller, I believe I am going through the local shop.

The Pro Comp 1069 16x8 8x6.5 for $92.80 each. He matched all the prices I found on the internet, plus I am not having to pay shipping. The center caps come with the wheels.

So, I'll probably be posting pics in about a week.
