Aluminum wheels

My '97 F250 HD has a set of 8 lug aluminum wheels on it; it's not the "shinny" ones I've seen like OEM but has the same round holes in the wheel body. I'm wondering if they are after marker. The rear hub says "Modern" but I don't seem to fine a web site. Some of the lug nuts are mixed, with one missing, so I'm looking for replacement nut(s). They are



7/8". Any info would be appreciated.

Karl: I can't figure out what your problem with lugnuts "really is"; but I'd advise that you take your truck to a good local tire/wheel shop and have them "look it over". Many "aftermarket" aluminum rims use specific lugnuts... some are "stock Ford" with the same tapered flange side; but others are "square shouldered" . Using the WRONG lugnuts can cause the wheel to crack.. not good!.

I see your callsign - wa7ycp - ; if things are still same; you are Pacific NW (wa7) -- try Les Schwab Tires. I can't say all of them are good; but I've never found a bad one yet.
