Rims/ caps?

Hey yall, for awhile now i've been pondering in my head if i want to put new rims or different hubcaps on my truck. I currently have 235/76/15 tires on my truck that i bought not too long ago and would like to keep. The rims are 15 inch on there right now with caps as you can see in the picture above.

But im not sure where to really look or find what i want. Any help on where too look (cheaper prices are appreciated) or where you have gotten yours would be very helpful.

Also my dad mentioned that alot of rangers have the 15 inch rims and 4.5 spacing that i might be able to find easy??

Rangers, Explorers, Lincolns, Crown Vics, Thunderbirds, Mustangs, Full/mid size Fords from 60'-80's, etc. You have lots of choices for a 15" rim.

I agree.But none of the 4.5 factory rims have looked all that good.You're best going with something aftermarket.But,our cheapest bet would probably be the junkyard.I got the wheels for my truck for $40.If you want somethin like mine,Rangers and Explores had these...



Or maybe you could go older with the Ranger 10 holes that are similar to the 87-early 90's F-Series rims.I'm not entirely sure if they came in 15",the ones in the picture are 14,but the 4x4 Rangers should have 15's.



You have alot of options from junkyards,if your junkyards don't charge you an arm and a leg.The rims for my truck are kinda hard to find in junkyards,since everybody likes to put them on every 5x5 1/2 ford truck that has crappy wheels.

That's a common problem.I was in the right place at the right time with mine,wheels usually disappear when vehicles enter the junkyard.I haven't seen a good set of wheels since in my favorite yard.
