These are my old ones above. They look shiny, but they're not chrome.

The new ones are below:

Damn, I like your new wheels a lot. What brand and how much? I need new wheels for mine. And I like the Eagle / MT wheel with the 10 holes around it but EVERYONE has those so I kinda wanted something different. My cousin actually has those Eagle wheels on 2 trucks so I need something different for sure.

That was the only problem I had with the larger wheels......they had so many spokes and it just looked a little girly, or like was said before, fancy....whereas these 5 huge spokes fit the larger tires and the more manlyness of the truck itself.

I bought them from a company in Florida called Tulip City Wheels and they were about $800 delivered to my door. These guys were great. They got my wheels out to me in a matter of days. I looked hard for these wheels and these guys were the best in price. They came with center caps, but of course, you'll need to buy an open end cap for the hubs in the front.

The 80s F-150s would have a wheel you are decribing. I thought of taking my 15x10 white spoke wheels which look like a factory wheel and power coating them silver and installing factory 80s center caps.
