where can I find reasonable rims for my old Ford?

[lloyd3]

I'd like to upgrade my old trucks rims from 16-inch to 17-inch to gain a little clearance and perhaps gain a little help with a slightly-gearbound 5-speed (it has the world's shallowest OD gearing).

17x7.5 inches seems to be the standard F150 4x4 Ford rim for the year of interest (1997). They don't need to be perfect, just decent.  Just writing this, I suspect that the answer will be "in a junkyard somewhere". What says the cognoscenti here?

Yeah, my first thought for stock old truck wheels is a pick-n-pull yard.

I got 4 new rims off eBay for 400.00 delivered with new nuts/locks. (15X8)

Autozone has reconditioned ones for about $100 each

And I got 4 factory alloy rims with near new tires for my Dakota off Facebook Market for 250.00. (Check Craigslist also.)
