Hey guys, I'm looking to buy black (pref matte) winter rims. I don't want junky multi fit steel rims though. Maybe something like these...

Anyone have any experience or suggestions?

I'm in southern Ontario (upstate NY), so lots of snow.

those are the f250s, not sure if you noticed that or not. but I don't understand why you odn't just get steel ones, its just winter, they'll look fine

I don't know if I'ed pay that much for a spare set of rims, they do look good but eight lugs. Do you run a different set of tires for winter? I used to keep a set of fair weather and snow wether tires mounted on there own rims is that what your going for?

Yeah, I actually have 3 sets of rims and tires right now

-Summers (with 17" Duellers)
-OEM Chrome Swirl style (which I hate, 16" brand new all season commercial van tires)
-And a rusty painted silver steel set (16" studded winter tires)

I want to get a nice black set for winter and probably sell my OEM's (which are in great shape since the truck only has 60k and is a 1998).

I heard bad things about the multi fit steel rims and figured for a few hundred more I could get a nice black set instead of f150 fit steel wheels.

I recently found a steel set for $100 which I think I'll pick up. The seller says they are OEM from 1997 4x4? I dont recognize them, he says he painted them and removed the center caps. Anyone have any info on these? Here they are...

These wheels are a 1997-1999 Ford truck wheel, 16x7, 5-135mm stud pattern with a 12mm stud hole. 4x4 or 2x4 makes no difference.

those Cragars do look cool, searching by make and model looks like they don't fit a 1998 F150 though.

thanks Arizona Tim, that's the type of answer I've been looking for.
