Need to replace Split Rims
I have a 1967 Ford Mercury F250. It has been restored and is totally stock. I want to keep it as original as possible.
It has the original split rims with tube tires. These are a pain to maintain so I am looking for a one peace rim that looks stock and will fit the original hub caps.
I have found some similar rims but the hub caps will not fit. The original rims are a little different in that the hub cap snap on the inside of the rim flange.
Does anyone know of a alternate?
Thanks

Just use any Ford 16" 8-bolt wheel from F/E-250s/350s up to 98 for the F series. E means Econoline or vans. Don't get 16.5" wheels as the tire selection is very limited and expensive. You can also use the Dodge wheels and also the old Chevy wheels before 88 for trucks or until the new 88 shaped Suburbans which, not being a Chevy guy, I don't know what year the new 'Burb showed up.
