I am again watching for 16 inch steel wheels. This is possibly a good deal for someone local to them. It is to far away for me, and I do NOT want tires... yet.

From just looking at the pictures, the wheels look correct. (But I can only see a few of the wheels and my eye isn't that calibrated.) Before bidding you need to ask if all the wheels are dome rather than cone shaped and what is the size of the center bore.

You are looking for:
16" dual wheel with 8-6.5" bolt circle, domed spider (center) and 4.56" center bore.

For info: There are a few other "possibles' on craigslist for fairly new wheels in Mosses Lake WA and northern CA. (Many who have 6 nice 16inch wheels want a 16 inch steel wheel for a spare.) There are other posters on craigslist wanting to buy 16.5 inch wheels and tires. (This could reduce the total cost of upgrading to 16 inch wheels from JimK.)

I see he is offering Local Pickup ONLY. If someone here wants them, I'll offer to drive over and pick them up. I'll store them in my hanger in Valparaiso,IN until further arrangements like U-ship can be made. Warsaw, IN is about 80 miles from here.

I checked with the seller on eBay, and these came on a Ford E450, so I imagine they are the metric Ford pattern.

Actually, that would have been a great deal if they fit!
