Ive been looking for some new wheels. I have some Uswheels 5 star chrome wheels that are half rust right now. I have a few in mind.

Id like to see some pics of what people have. I really want to run late 2nd gen alloys but not sure if theyll work. Thanks in advance for the input.

 

prolly the third one. the first one is too bling. the second...imitation beadlocks on a 2wd...naaaah

 

i want to buy a set of the stock ford superduty rims from a 97. my uncle has a set and i think i might lowball him to see if i can get them. does anyone have a clue if stock wheels on a 97 f350 powerjoke are 8inch wide? i really would like 8 inch for when i run some 12.5s on it with my next set of tires. i think these trucks look good with basic wheels that arent too flashy

 

I've got Ford steelies from a 95 250. Very tough and very appropriate for a bare-bones poor-boy truck like mine, imo. Maybe THAT's why my truck is so slow....

 

true the first are a little wild for my truck, but I want something different and see the 3rd ones a lot. However that is because they look good. Plus the fact they are $200 cheaper. Im having too hard of a time choosing so hopefully I can get some more help from yall. Port-I have seen those wheels you are talking about-alcoa's I think, and they do look sharp. Thats the direction im leaning right now. thanks

 

well...im imagining that some ford joker(like my uncle) has a set sitting around their garage because they had to put some slick wheels on to at least make their truck look alright; kind of compensating for the truck not being alright , so im guessing that one of your friends or someone around town would have a used set that would fit. i believe that the fords through 97 at least were fitted with dana axles which were eight lug so i know that those would fit.the new superduty models will not fit

 

ya the old ones are a 8x6.5 lug pattern. The new ones are on a mm pattern. Im gonna start looking for some simple plain ones, or maybe just keep my free wheels.

 

You should go to Tom's Wheels http://tomzwheels.com/, check out the Eagle 058's. There are a few people running those here. Very nice wheel.

 

ricksons look nice

 

I like the first ones, expensive, but all I have ever seen are the third ones on your list. Seems everyone has a set of them on. Problem is thats over 800 just for the wheels and probably 200 a piece for tires.

 

Ive got a set of 265/75 bfg at's with only 10k on them so im staying with 16s. My buddy is trying to sell me his oe 3rd gen alloys.

 

you should get something similar to the 3rd one those wheels i think look nice on 1st gens

 

I agree the 3rd ones would look the best

 

found some like I want on ebay. 5 spoke wheels by alcoa, specific model for our trucks. $480 shipped. I think theyre the ones. however, in my search i found something else. Ive been looking for a way to install some 2nd gen wheels with a clean look. i found lug nuts that are threaded outside for caps from newer trucks. we have 1/2in lug nuts right? or are they 5/8"?

 

YUP. just remember photos of wheels are of the largest dia. that they make. a 16" won't look the same. You want to see them in person if poss. My .02
