Ford wheels
I am looking for a set (4) of Ford factory wheels. White spoke wagon wheels.
Ford offered these wheels from 1978-1984 on F150's, Bronco's and Vans. They came in 15x6 and 15x8 all 5 lug.
I have had about twenty people tell me they have these rims and find out they are all after/ markets.
These wheels have three small screw holes between the 5 stud/lug holes. These small holes are for the center cap screws. Ford used black center caps with these wheels.
They need to be straight and balanceable. I can sand blast and repaint if needed.
Thanks oem78 Mitch

Oem, it would help if you add your location to your profile... I have a set of (5) 15 x 8's with rings and caps; they even have decent Goodyear Workhorse Radials on them. I had a dificult time finding the 15 x 8's and ended up getting two off ebay; shipping these things 'aint cheap! Oops, just re-read your post... My wheels are the argent wheel; you can see them in my '85 gallery. PM me if interested.

I haven't seen another set of them since, and that was 15 years ago......

These are the wheels I think the OP is talking about.
I think they were more prevalent on 6th gen trucks.They would have come with black center caps that resemble the chrome ones on 87-96 trucks,but black.They might have been plastic too,I can't recall.

Oh,and FE,one of my spares is a factory 8 spoke just like the one you posted,same black paint and all.One day I sprayed WD40 on the lugs of my truck to help loosen them up.When I wiped off the excess,the black paint came off on the rag.After a few more squirts,the black paint was gone revealing the Argent(and better looking) finish underneath.
