I suggest you add a 4th wheel, it'll handle much better that way :-)

I'll assume the "k" isn't Kilo-inches :-)

I'd look on Ebay or the local salvage yard for a 16x7" rim that looks 
identical (from the same era), and then check the details stamped on the 
rim.  I'm betting you'll find a match.

You could try sending an email to Accuride.  It's possible that part 
number that you have is a Ford part number, not an Accuride part number.

Lots of salvage yards have searchable websites, do a Google search. 
Also look on EBay..... probably check Ebay first.


How did you determine that the rims were made by Accuride?
