Need some wheel help please!

I'm in the process of restoring my 1993 D350 and it has come time to get aluminum wheels. All I can find new wheels for are 1994 an up. Is there anyway to make those fit my 93 or does anyone make wheels that will fit my 93? Any advice is appreciated!

I have bolted the factory '94-'97 SLT style chrome 16 x 6.5 on more than a few 1st gen 4x4s.
I would assume they would work great on a 2wd as well.

Dually alloys are a tough one for 1st gens. Our axles use the old "coined" hub setup. American racing used to make aftermarket alloys. (See jim lane's truck) I know Alcoa was rumored to manufacture them as well. Other than that? You're better going with "Vision" style 19.5 Dually wheels/tires. Turns your truck into a D550.
