Does anybody have a picture of a slick with 9th gen alloy wheels on it?
These, to be specific:
I think it would look alright!
Thanks.

I think they look good too.
Max here in Houston has wheels just like that that he's planning on using.

They bolt right on and will clear disc brakes, and as Skip says - they look good on these trucks. As a bonus those are a pretty high quality piece.

Dirky;
The ones you posted are a 15x7 wheel, machined & clear coated - upgrade over styled steel.
The ones Chris posted are a 15x8 wheel, polished & clear coated, next step up from the 15x7 Aluminum wheels.

Got the 15x8's on one of my uni's. They came on my Bronco when new; I put aftermarket 15x10's, which look like the one Dirky posted, on the Bronco. I've been considering putting the 15x10's on the uni to see how they look. I'll take pics of both installed.
I drilled and tapped the aftermarket wheels to accept the factory center caps.
I had never noticed the ones with the "rivets" as OEM on the full size Fords, but the one posted certainly appears to be factory, since it has the lip for balance weights.

You saw them most often on 88-91 trucks.
