Wheels-black vs. aluminum finish?

[Bbasso]

If I could find factory aluminum wheels I put them on in a heartbeat.

And I found a set last night!

I wasn't joking about putting them on in a heartbeat lol

Cha-Ching!, Looks like they were born there...I was thinking it wouldn't be too hard for you to find factory 8 lugs that were decent. My only choices were the old 5.5" bolt pattern and I already have the factory "hurricane" Ford aluminum rims.

BTW, when the time comes for me aluminum it is...kinda like an old tie, just keep it around long enough, it will be back in style!
This is what I had in mind if I went to the 8-lug axles:

I had those 5 stars wheels on my previous first two vans, i dig'em but for this van I wanted the bullet hole wheels...

Love em!

I have been looking on my local buy/sell boards here for 6 months now and still haven't seen any come up... :/

I an not a big fan of aftermarket rims. They tend to be heavy and cheesy. I rather go with factory rims. For an E150 there are not many options with the 5x5.5". I went black AND ALuminum on mine. I like it. I can not do Chrome. I even painted my grill. My bumpers are OK as the bottom of the van is gray.
