ckuske Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for stock Type 1 wheels (15x6 with 5.5” bolt hole circle)… I know the junkyard is a possibility but I’d like to buy some that have been reconditioned, tested, etc I am looking for white steel wheels that the dog-dish hubcaps go over. The part number is E7TZ-1015-C I’ve looked online and stumbled on a few, but the shipping is more than the wheels themselves. I realize I’m probably pushing myself to go to the junkyard, but am looking for any suggestions out there on a vendor to buy from. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckuske Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 I would try my favorite local tire store. I’ll give you the fact that I haven’t tried yet locally - it’s a valid point. I kind of assumed they wouldn’t in the back corner of the store gathering dust at this point, but I could be wrong! All you tend to see is 20” chrome wheels around here for cars of questionable taste. 15” plain white steel wheels aren’t in high demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the 20” wheels and such, but I’ve had good luck with my tire store. When I got the Bronco exhaust done I was looking at the huge exhaust pieces he had and laughed and said must be a reason you have all of these. He smiled, shrugged and said they sell.

One of these day I have to get off my butt and find a stock steel 15" wheel in the 5.5 pattern for a spare. I never gave a thought of the many used tire stores we have around here. If I get out of work early one day I will have to hit them on the way home. If there is 1 there has to be 6! And that is not counting the new tire stores.

ckuske Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 I’ll still look local, but these seem to meet all the criteria: https://www.jegs.com/i/Wheel-Vintiques/939/62-5655334/10002/-1# The only thing I’m not sure about is the backspacing? I’m not sure how much the original wheels have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too expensive, but something to compare to: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154591150944?hash=item23fe59c360:g:iukAAOSwyABhLisL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another member was interested a while back, I checked shipping, can't remember what it was now, wasn't crazy though. He has the F100 bolt pattern though, so I still have them. E-mail me if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
