Default 7 lug wheel help

hey everyone,

I have a 1999 f-150.. it has 7 lug wheels and I want to change the rims but I can barely find any wheels that are 7 lug.. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get 7 lug wheels because the rim shop by my house refuses to believe wheels come with 7 lugs.. or if theres a way to convert it to 6 or 5 lug.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Seems that the F150 7700s had 7lug patterns... tell the individual(s) to do their research.

2005 and around there also have some trucks with 7 lug wheels available. I found a listing last week for a set off an 05 and forwarded it to one of the local guys who was looking for wheels. It isn't just for 97 to 03's.

Looks like they use it up to 2011 at least. I didn't know that.

Im afraid there isnt to many options for aftermarket rims. Like other have stated, you can get an adapter to a 6 or 8 lug, or maybe you can luck out and find a pair somewhere. From what i have read on adapters though, make sure you get "hub centric" adapters.

don't know if you're still looking to get wheels but a lot of companies will drill them from blanks for you! thats the route I went. I'm actually wanting to get some different wheels for mine, but I currently have Fuel Octanes.
