What other model wheels fit the 97-03 trucks? I have an 01 SCREW with the stock 17" chrome steel wheels and I'd like to get some alloy wheels. Since the tires are new, what else fits in the 17" size?

Otherwise, I'll wait until these wear out and buy 16" wheels. What 16" wheels from other models fit?

I like those fairlaner.

I've always been partial to and liked my 17" stockers. Besides tire shops messing them up when balancing with the weights, these wheels have held up and still look great for being 8 years old.

I like those wheels as well. Mine are chrome steel as I mentioned. An alloy wheel just looks better I think. Since I have new 17" Michelin tires, I'd like to find some wheels only. Did a search and found several, but need to clarify the year and lug pattern.

I take it only 97-03 wheels from a F150 and Expedition work?

Pretty much. The bolt pattern, specifically, is 5x135mm. There are some nice aftermarket wheels out there in our bolt pattern that are 17x9. I've always wanted to find some nice 17x10 wheels for my truck.
