Factory wheels?

Has anyone ever seen these before? It said they came off of a 2001 with a 5x135 pattern, but I have never seen them. Looks almost like an 04-08 wheel.

Those are either the wrong pictures or the wrong description. Definitely 04+ 6x135 wheels. Standard on the XLT package, I believe.

Those don't look like factory F-150 wheels to me -- I'm thinking maybe something off an Explorer or Expedition maybe? Call them and have them check the bolt pattern again to make sure they're 5-lug and not 6-lug wheels -- that should help you narrow it down.

I figured it was probably a typo.

Those hankooks are probably 10x better than some of the tires they've used in the past.
