[AT] OT F250 Diesel Wagon Wheel Rim?

[charlie hill]

Will,  go on Ebay motors and run a search for tire and wheel combinations or 
just for wheels, rims, etc.   If you go to regular Ebay and not Ebay motors 
you'll get all sorts of wheels.  Last year about this time I bought a brand 
new set of American Racing wheels with 4 brand new tires (still had the 
stickers on them) for about $100 more than the tires would have cost me 
locally.   You will find a good number of aftermarket and factory wheels 
both new and used.   The source is often from a custom shop that is taking 
new or slightly used factory stuff off and replacing it with fancy wheels 
and tires.  I've added a link that will take you to the EBay page for the 
guy that I bought mine from. 
http://stores.ebay.com/Truck-and-RV-Supply_W0QQsspagenameZMEQ3aFQ3aSTQQtZkm
You might have to type that in if it doesn't wrap completely as a link.

This guy is just one of many similar sellers on Ebay.
