Default Wheels from newer F150s?

I hate the stock wheels that came on my '03 Screw, so I've been looking for replacements on Craigslist.

I keep seeing wheels from '04 and newer trucks, but wanted to know if there would be any fitment problems with them.

I'm not looking to get into anything fancy, so just looking for cheap, factory replacements.

Thanks.

The older trucks have a 5 lug configuration as opposed to the newer models with a 6 lug. I have the same issue with my 2001. I just wanted some decent looking stock rims and found out i could only get the older one (the newer ones look much better in my opinion). So check out your lug configuration and go from there.

Mine are 5-lug wheels and I was aware of that requirement, of course. I'm pretty sure I've seen 5- and 6-lug wheels for sale for the '97-'03 models, but are all newer wheels 6-liug? If so, no more need for discussion.

Thanks for the reply.
