The UPS man just dropped these off today. I really liked the 5 spoke aluminum cast wheels that came on the truck so I looked for chrome ones in the same style. After a couple months of looking it finally paid off and I got these. They are the same Ford wheels but ones that have been chromed . I just have to get some new tires for the new wheels then I can put them on.
Pic may be a little blurry as its a older camera since I dropped the good one on the concrete driveway

 

i really cant tell from that pic, but i think those should look very nice. take some pics after you get them mounted.

 

Decided to use the old tires since they only had 15,000 miles on them. A local guy here took them off the rims, put them on new ones, installed chrome valve stems and Hunter balanced them with weights on the back so they were not on the outside. Handed me a bill for 40.00 and I was shocked at how low. He said look out back he is a Ford man, had a newer GT and a F150 supercrew sitting there. He called it the Ford discount... Love to run into other owners like that.

Well heres a pic installed, still a little blurry but shows them on


Heres a little better on a closeup. Man I miss my Sony camera.

 

The rims look sweet!

I got a Screw with about 38K on it and am planning to change rims when I change my tires.

Where did you get them and how much were they?
I'm planning to get some 18"s.

 

I saw a set of those on Ebay, I think they were just triple plated chrome standard 5 spoke 16" wheels; or are those the chrome 17" wheels in the 2002 F-Series/E-Series/Ranger accessorie catalogue?

Hey ChesterC I see you are near San Francisco, we might cross paths one day...err I mean that in a good way!

 

I looked at your profile Nonsequitur ... and I hope in a good way too

What's your area of control? I hope it's not on highway 680

Take care!

 

Nah it isn't 680! It is a little corner of San Francisco... SFPD.

Here is the page for the wheels:

 

chesterc,
Sorry for delay in reply...

Nonsequitur knows his stuff and has good memory too. I got them off a seller on Ebay. Auction had a reserve and closed without anyone meeting it. I received an e-mail a few days later from the seller asking if I was still interested in them since I was highest bidder, and if I was willing to purchase at the last bid I placed. I jumped on it and a few days later they were mine.

They are the factory 16 x 7 rims that have either been chrome plated or were made that way. Flawless finish on them all around front, back, and centers. They have all the Ford OEM numbers on them, stampings etc but have a Venezuela stamp on the back my Aluminum ones didn`t. Other than that they were identical other than the finish to my 5 spokes that came on it. Paid 270.00 for them with centers and lug nuts. I wanted the wider tires(18") also but didn`t want to have to mess with new tires and rims at the same time. Its more like my daughters horse jumping, training and equipment costs that didn`t want me to go that far right now This way I can have something different than stock and something I don`t see on any F150s around here.

I plan on swapping front air dams, adding a billet grille, hood and etc in future so will probably look at rims again to add to the package.

 

Nice wheels.

Last Sunday, I was high bid ($390.00) on Ebay for four (4) new (yet, 12 mm), oem F-150/Expedition 17x7.5 "buzzsaw" directional wheels that had been triple chrome plated. They look awsome. I pick them up next week.

I had been searching for 18 inch, chromed, directional wheels for about two months. Did not find anything that justified spending around a $1,000 bucks, as well as 18 inch tires are very costly and also, I am going with a 28.5 to 29 inch diameter tire (want more off the line torque) so an 18 in that diameter tire, in my opinion, would be too low of a sidewall for a 5,000 plus pound truck. Yet, the stock 17x7.5 allows me to go with a a 265/55/17 or a 275/55/17.

Victoria Tire also sells the same chromed oem wheel for $139.00 each.

 

2000FordStyle,
Those look so awesome! I'm getting the same rims (not chromed) from a guy I work with to put on my 98. He wants $200 for the four and includes the tires that have only 8000 miles on them.
