Where to buy cheap steel 17" wheels for my '03 4x4 F150 5-lug?
My '03 F150XLT 4x4 S-cab came with 16" wheels.
I am wondering, are there 17" wheels available with 5-lug for the truck?
Hopefully yes?
If yes, where are the cheap plain steel wheels?
These would be used for the winter.
The standard 16" wheel sizes are displayed when I use search engines on the wheel/tire web sites.
Help....

Why do I want 17" wheels?
Well, I didn't want to spill the beans until I bought them, but...
today I came across some 17" Blizzaks in Tirerack.com for $9.00 apiece.
That's not a typo. 9 bucks.
They are 17" tires, so 1 + 1 = a super CHEAP set of tires/wheels.
Anyone want the link??

Wow, at that price, you could skip the extra set of wheels .... it would be cheaper to just remount the summer/winter tires several times! Snow tires may only last a couple winters anyway.

Why do they have to be steel?
There are a lot of guys selling their 17" OEM wheels for 3 to 4 hundred bucks. My FX4 wheels for the same year truck as yours are 17" 5 lugs. There were a couple of sets for sale right here in the classifieds not to long ago. If you want the tires I would just buy them while you can and look around for the wheels. They are out there.

has anyone tried ordering a set at $9.00 a piece?
I just tried to do it, and it's saying:
Please call 888-541-1777 to finish placing this order. We need to verify that you are receiving the correct pricing on the products you have selected. We apologize for any inconvenience.
When you call - the representative says they are $99.00, and can't honor the $9.00 price.
