Looking for wider version of orig. steel wheel
Anyone know where I can find a wider version of the original style steel wheels?
My '75 Highboy came with the original two-piece rims which I quickly replaced with standard size (16x7) one-piece versions as I was only going to run stock looking "skinny" tires.
Now I'm thinking I'd like to get another set of tires, probably 33s, but I'd like to keep the same look as far as the wheels go. Are there 16x8s out there? Maybe even 16x10s that look just like the stock steel wheels? Thanks.

I have Vintiques 15X8 5-5.5 wheels and some 15X6 5-5.5 that even have the Ford script stampings and Ford part numbers.
Stocton sells new wheels or will widen your existing ones.

Thanks guys, but I'm trying to keep the costs down on this one. I bought my current wheels at a parts yard for $25 a piece. I was hoping that maybe some later Ford trucks came with 16x8 steelies and I could find something similar. Guess I should start trolling the pick a parts.
