will those blanks take 3300 pounds of load?

I still contend Ford has these one of a kind bolt pattern wheels on these trucks to prevent us from putting AutoZone cheap wheels on that will break at payload max

Centerline will drill any wheel they make for 7 lug as long as the blank is rated for 3300 pounds

Besides Centerline, who has seven lug wheels? Wheel Pros has some, but I don't know how legit they are.

Spend the money, but the Centerlines, you won't be sorry.

Centerline will discount the online price if you tell them you are a auto shop/business. IIRC they knocked 150 bucks off my order.

mine were 975 shipped, plus 50 for lug nuts, that I could have gotten locally if I wasn't so lazy

There were less expensive wheels than the Wilderness ones I got.

If you damage a wheel you want to be able to replace it, and Centerline is going to be around a long time. Fred's wheel company could be gone next week.

If I buy the Centerlines I would be sorry. I couldn't find any that would come in black, its all chrome. and I'm not going to pay $1000 for rims and have to rattle-can them to get the look I want.
Also, wheelpros was simply a place that carries KMC wheels. Judging by the amount of people on here with Rockstars, Monsters, and Addicts, they'll be around awhile also.

there is a guy on ebay Rons rims, I think he has the black wheels from time to time. He is not any cheaper than center line. I believe he buys blanks and does the drilling in house. My wheels were less than 550 I just could not spend that much on rims.

If they were that worried about the payload they would have just used an 8 lug pattern and made it easy on everyone.
When I bought my truck , I did not realize it had 7 lugs. like most people I thought that died in 99, after getting it home, and popping the center caps off , still not counting the lugs, and finding out the hard way the new 20"wheels I just traded a transmission for would not fit. I made a lot of phone calls to Ford.
I talked to a guy, who told me the truck I had was the light duty diesel platform. That in 07 they would start offering a diesel, that was testing at over 30 MPG. Guess were not getting the diesel after all.
I think they gave us 7 lugs just to make it easy to spot the HD models, to make a clear difference between the trucks. I just wish they could have given us F200 badges
