old school wheels...little help?

With everybody out there switching up their wheels, many going for the bling bling...I would like to revert to the old school look - steel, baby moon hub caps with ford script and polished trim rings. I think steel wheels painted in the charcoal grey to match the lower two tone would look AWESOME on my white/grey two tone FX4...

Now comes the hard part...I can't seem to find any steel ford wheels that will accept baby moom hub caps in a 5x135 bolt pattern.

Does anybody know if there is a cross reference wheel that will work in either a 15 or 16 inch?

That is old school.
I put baby moons on my car in 1973 and I was laughed at then.

If your spare won't take the hubcap it's going to be tough.
I don't think your truck will take a 15" wheel.

a 15" wheel will not fit over the calipers, has to be 16" or larger, good luck

good point...i'll need to find a 16" - i've heard Dodge made a steel wheel with a 5x135 bolt pattern.

Has anybody painted OR power coated there stock 5-spoke FX4 wheels? If I don't find a steel "old school" wheel, I'm thinking of refinishing my alloy FX4 5-spokes in charcoal grey...

thanks

Dodge's have never used a 5x135mm bolt pattern.
