I understand about the limited market on the 7 lug wheels, supply and demand. The bigger question is, why make a 7 lug wheel in the first place? Especially if ALL your going to offer is a steel wheel with no upgrade.
I actually have a '04 LARIAT SCAB 4x4 LONGBOX with the stupid gray 7 lug wheels on it! How much sense does it make to build a Lariat and put gray stamped steel wheels on it?
Still think it would be beneficial for one of the more popular f150 wheels be made as a 7 lug. Again, the current selection SUCKS.
I love my truck but I'm just frustrated like many 7 luggers. Thanks for listening

There needs to be a new 7 lug wheel from Ford.
Center Line has wheels but they are a bit expensive.
There are a few on eBay from different makers but they are either too plain or too flashy.
I heard Moto Metal had or was going to have a 7 lug wheel but they never actually made any. There is no way to contact them on their website.
There must be other options out there.

A company out in california now makes adapters to get rid of these stupid Ford lug patterns. As of today, they are selling them on Ebay for around $122.50 per hub/tire. Shipping is 'free'. These adapters convert from the pointless 7x150 lug pattern to a Chevy 8x6.5(165.1mm) lug pattern. The 8x6.5 lug pattern is standard on most 2010(and other years) Chevy Silverado 2500 trucks. Many more rims are available in that configuration.
This adapter DOES push out the tires by 2 inches, but I'm planning to get larger tires anyways, so I will need that additional space to compensate for the larger tires near the truck frame/body.
The company is called TireShopSupplies on Ebay.
Phone number: 909-890-5544

Current adapter info on Ebay

NOTE: These adapters can be built to order by the company, so you can actually call them and they'll put together what ever lug pattern you ultimately want to end up with. Additional costs may apply.

Are you saying now that with the 2013 models, Ford has gone back to making rims with this old lug pattern???
I don't recall they ever stopped to begin with.
