Do they look like the ones on this page?
This also looks like the OEM rims that came on my 2000 F250 - except I think the ones I got are a satin on brushed finish.
Simply look at the holes where the eight lugnuts go. If the holes are tapered to accept a tapered nut, they are the old style. If the large center hole is tapered instead, they are the newer metric ones, as they are centered by the hub instead of the lugnuts. The metric hubs require a special lugnut that has an attached washer that is similar to a shakeproof washer/nut combination. The 16X7 wheel that you show at your link is for the old style. In other words it is NOT metric.

F8 = 1998 part number
Yep, they look just like those! Tony
They do have the special lugnuts and the lug holes are not tapered. Must be the newer/metric style. Thanks, Tony
David, Thanks very much! Thanks to everyone that has answered. Tony
