I sold those tires to a friend of Roberts. Didn't take him long to put them on! For an 84 F150 it doesn't look too shabby!
On another note, I "should" be buying my new wheels tomorrow. We will see. Will be meeting up with Nate tomorrow, hope he likes his new 302.

I heard back from Vintage Wheels today and they can't get me stock rims. Gotta go looking again.
Update 720pm
As a very last resort, I contacted Pro Comp and they can build me custom rims again. They have Type 98 Rock Crawler 15x7s in gloss black, BUT they can powder coat them white at no extra charge. For $60 each it may not be so bad. Just have to wait a few weeks. Here is the link: http://www.procompusa.com/prodDetail.aspx?partNo=PCW98-5785&catID=11&subCat=209&ptID=100021&plID=100348
I found new reproduction rims off a 78-79 full size Bronco. I can get them in either blk, wht or silver. But hey only come in 15x6s and not the 15x7s like i would like. But the price is right at $50 each. Here is the link to these: http://www.wheelsrims.net/1978_1991-ford-bronco/15_x_6_steel_wheel-stl01570u20.html
Yaw know Mill Knob, I'm waiting to hear back from him. He's checking to see if he has 15x7s at his home. If he has five straight rims I will get them and have them powder coated.

Went to different Tire Kingdom today and got a lower quote on 33x1050x15s, $1k for 5. Asked about 285x70R16s (33.1" tall) a set of 5 came up to $1250.
I'm still searching for the right well. I have a lead on 4) 15x7s from George (Mill Knob), hopefully that works out. If not there are some 16x7s steel wheels that I like.

Guys I need some help! I have an opportunity to buy 5) stock steel wheels. The seller is measuring the outside diameter of his wheels and is coming up with 6.75" wide. Can I safely assume these are 6" wide wheels? How wide are stock bronco steel wheels (15x5.5)? I don't want to make the mistake of traveling out of state only to find 15x5.5s. If you have a stock bronco wheel could you please check on this for me, I really appreciate it!
UPDATE: I decided to get the wheels

First I would like to give a big shout-out to George (Mill Knob). I have never met the man, but he bent over backwards to find me some wheels for my bronco. Not only did he find me stock looking steel wheels, he found five of them! So with that, [SIZE="5"]THANK YOU VERY MUCH GEORGE! [/SIZE]And the man wasn't done yet! He found me a fella that can powder coat them in Wimbledon White at a reasonable price.
Thx again George! :xyxthumbs:
