If you think about it, $40 - $50 is pretty damn cheap for a brand new aluminum OEM wheel.
I personally don't care for that style, but if I could get the slotted or bullet hole wheels that cheap I would jump on them.
OEM steelies are probably more than that.

However...The OP has confused the hubcaps with the wheel.
I listed the part numbers for the wheel and the hubcaps, but I only listed the sources who had the hubcaps, not the wheel.
There is no way that a Ford Dealer, or even an obsolete parts vendor would sell an aluminum wheel that prolly had a list price of well over $200.00 for 40 or 50 bucks.
Just for the heck of it, I ran the wheel part number, one is available.
GREEN SALES in Cincinnati, OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.
Any bets on what they want for it?
btw: Since there were quite a few sources that had the hubcaps, I'd call a few more to see the price might be less.
The Ford dealers will prolly be cheaper than the obsolete parts vendors, because....
The hubcaps are obsolete, can no longer be returned to Ford, so the dealers are STUCK with them!

That makes more sense.
Still $45-$50 for an OEM center cap is not that surprising. If I were restoring a truck and needed mint OEM parts, I would pay that much.
I doubt you would ever find good used caps.

I meant the center caps. Thanks for clarifying NumberDummy. My cousin can get them for me for 27 bucks apiece plus shipping. I like that price better. I am probably going to get them to store for later use.
