Rembrant Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Gents, These wheels were on my Bullnose when I purchased it. Are they a factory Ford wheel or aftermarket? I want to put them up for sale but would like to identify them if possible. Looking on the wheel page, "Type-9" looks similar, but I dunno... I know my truck came with skinny little steel wheels when new, so I'm not sure what these ones are from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Those are factory. I have a set and love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Those are factory. I have a set and love them. Factory Bullnose, or Bricknose, or both? Are they 7" wide? I can't measure properly with the tires still on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARIAT 85 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes, those are factory Ford wheels. They are 15x7.5 and originally came on 1990 - 1994 trucks. 1995/1996 had a very similar style wheel but without the rivets. They were *not* factory original wheels for the Bullnose years. Sorry Gary, but the 1978 - 1981 wheels are 15x6 and look a bit different: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may keep them yet, I dunno...but I was curious what they were from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This info needs to be on the Y2Y differences page since those wheels were available for only 2 of the Bullnose years. I’ll add them awa your pic(s). 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes, those are apparently the 1978 - 81 wheels that Ford said have "10 opening - polished aluminum". Ok, I put a blurb about the 10-hole polished aluminum wheels, as well as their cast aluminum replacements, on the Y2Y page and the Engine & Driveline tab: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/year-to-year-differences.html And, I put two pics of the 10-hole polished aluminum wheels on a new tab, oddly enough called Pictures, on the Driveline/Wheels page. Let me know if that works for y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
