Ford 8-Lug Wheels?

Still waiting for the title paperwork to come through so I can buy the 72 K20 I'm after.

Been toying with the idea of changing wheels, as I'm not the biggest fan of plain steel wheels. I'd like to dress it up a little. But not go ultra modern. I like the looks of the late model Chevy wheels like a lot of members seem to have here, but something a little different caught my eye.

I believe these are wheels from a 95-97 Ford F250/F350. They look like that to me. I have always liked them and never thought of them on a Chevy until I saw these pics. I think they are made by Alcoa. If not, they are at least OEM wheels. Should be good quality and strong. As a bonus, they are probably at least 7" wide, if not 7.5" or 8" wide. Only thing I potentially don't like is I think the rear centercaps have Ford stamped into them.

Has anyone put these on their truck? I'm wondering if there are fitment issues. I know the bolt pattern is right, but that is where my knowledge ends. Are there backspacing issues? Need special lugs? Any hub-centric vs. lug-centric issues? Or, anything else?

Thoughts?
