stock alcoa wheels

Post by H-rider »

I am looking at some wheels for sale locally. They are off a 90's E 150 (van).
Does anyone know if these are the same as the Bronco / F150 ?
If you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

They should be. The only alcoas are the smooth ones. Ones with rivets are cast & NOT alcoa made.

The alcoa ones should say alcoa and (maybe or) Ford on the inside of the round part (not wheel mounting surface) of the wheel. Wipe off the brake dust & have a look.

The van wheels were 16" most of the time.

There were some 16" factory E150 wheels that were 5x5.5 that looked just like the 15" ones on the EB Bronco. Very uncommon though. I haven't seen a set in years.
