Re: 16" x 7" 8 Lug Factory Steel Wheels For Sale

Ford wheels*

*The 8-lug pattern for GM,Dodge,Ford,IH,Jeep,etc was always the same till the late-90s when Ford decided to go metric. Wheels back then were just wheels and they all looked the same except for minute differences...car,truck,van. Diameter and lug pattern was all that mattered. It was the hubcap/wheelcover that brought individual style to each make and model,the way styled wheels do today. These are the last SAE wheels Ford made,which was after GM went to the styled steel wheel/center cap design in '88 (C/K). By then 16" tires were being offered in lower/wider profiles (75 series),so GM went from 6" (73-87/91 RV) hubcap-type to 6.5" styled steel and Ford went to 7" without changing from the old style. Pop a Chevy/GMC cap on and they are GM wheels! They are stamped "Accuride" who is like the modern day "Kelsey-Hayes" (who built everyone's wheels back then)
