I have been looking around and no one has good looking wheels on a F350 that I have seen. Does anyone know of a nice looking set of dually wheels for us 80-86 or even 80-97 DRW guys?? I really love the 5 spoke design on the 05-ish F350's but I am told they are no the correct size. Currently I have steelies with some super ugly simulators on it... Any pics or ideas?? Prefer something 16" and cheaper the better, not looking for some Donk $10k wheels, just some nicer rolling stock. Thanks

Alcoa does make the 01-05 alloy wheel in the earlier bolt pattern, you just have to buy it from them directly for that application.

Cool. I like those Apex, I just need to find someone that sells them and how much they are. I already need tires on my steelies, so why not change up wheels at the same time.

Keep your eyes out for a cheap dually that has those rims. There are a couple around me that have them, and the entire trucks going for 700. It would be cheaper to buy a truck and part it out to make your money back. But it all really depends on how much time you like to invest in things.

i looked into that i ven looked into 19.5's off a newer wrecker but the bolt pattern changed around that same time the super duty body style change our bolt pattern is slightly smaller .. but i may still try chevy 19.5's and milling the hubs bigger to fit that is if i can find them real cheap

I believe that there are some adapters on ebay that will allow us to run superduty rims on out trucks.

I still need to look into them, but the few people that I know that have them have had positive results so far.

I had the American Eagle wheels on my old dually. The are the thing as the factory ford wheels but without the clear coat;Sweet. That way if they get dull you can polish them right up. The ford ones the clear coat always peals and looks like CHIT. My wheels looked like the day i put them on 3 years later and only got polished once a year, and got driven in all kinds of crappy weather

A guy at work has a mid 90s dually with stock wheels that look just like the Eagles posted above. They are out there, you just have to find them.

I personally like the bullet wheels that came on the latest IDI and earliest PSD heavy duty trucks. They may have been a factory option and not bone stock but most trucks I see of that vintage have them. Mine has ugly white painted steel rims right now. They look ok but probably detract from the truck.

Similar to those first ones. Now I need to see an F-series heavy duty of that vintage and snap a pic and show you exactly. The 5 star aren't bad either just about anything looks better than the painted steel ones.
