rcarlisle Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Went to a local swap meet yesterday. Found several sets of wheels available. From a set of poorly brush painted wagon wheels for$200 to a better primed set for $150, to these, asking $125, bought for $100. 15 x 7.5 from a newer gen F150. I'll have to find some tires. I think I want to leave my steelies with LT tires just as they are and find some 70s with big white letters for these. I need to clean theses up so it may be a while before I get tires. Also, what lug nuts do I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlisle Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Cleaned and polished a bit. I think this is as far as I'll go on the polishing for now. Do the rest and see how they look Don't want to get them too pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Also, what lug nuts do I need? I believe they are 1/2"-20 with 60 degree conical seats, but somebody will correct me if I'm wrong. You can buy them anywhere. I'd get the deep acorn style. Amazon is full of them, and you can get a full set for under $20 usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
