They are easy to find at your local pick-a-part. Should be ~$15 ea or less. Look for 80's F/E150s.

Be careful of the ford rims with smaller hub holes, such as Ford vans and their 2 wheel drive trucks. It took me a while but I was able to find five 15x6 steelies that are a half inch wider than stock bronco steelies. Look on the outer side of the rim and you might see a factory stamp that indicates the size. Check for straightness too bc one of mine is off a tad but makes for a good spare. If your lucky you can 15x7s which are very hard/rare to find a set.

Don't know where you are Boogie but Stockton Wheel in California is well known for rather precise reproductions.

They worked for me...

That looks like a lot of wheel weights on the back one pictured. Just wondering if the wheel was balanced well from the factory. Not an expert here but have battled with wheels on my early Jeeps which were slightly tweaked.

I have a handful or so of them in the Dallas area. They'll need some paint or powder coat, $25 each.

those look good! what size are they?

The rims are 15 x 7, with a 4" BS. I had them painted rather than powdercoated... Wimbledon white
I have a 74 D44 with GM front disc in front and 77 9" in the rear with the 11 x 2 drum brakes.
Tires are BFG KM2's 31 x 10.5 x 15
1" body lift with WH 2.5" suspension

And yes that one tire took the most weight of the 5 tires/rims. It is not the rim, but the tire. It rolls fine at 70 mph...

The center holes look larger than Ford wheels. They may be Chrysler or Jeep size. Do they center on the lug nuts?

The center holes are larger, this is a replacement rim for Chevy's and Ford's. The rims are lug nut centered, not hub centered...
