Steel wheels?

Can anyone recommend a 16x7 or 16x8 black steel wheel that has the proper offset/backspacing for an 01.5 truck? I know AR has a 767, and Discount Tire has a "NASCAR Victory Hauler" but I can't find any backspacing/load rating info on either. I would not like to spend much more than $100/wheel.

Would Chevy or Ford rims fit? If so, what about a tow yard or junk yard?

Check out this part number at summitracing.com - USW-84-7880PL
This is the 5" backspace but also available in 4.25" backspace.

There's always Rickson Tire in Baltimore, with their well proven 16" steel wheels, but they're a lot more than $100.00 each.

Sorry, brain fart - Rickson is known for their 19.5" steel SRW wheels. 'Course, they just might have 16's too. Worth a look, eh ??

I saw a 2nd gen with 3rd gen wheels. It looked cool! I think that would be a good idea.
