Re: wheel question
They look to me like common aftermarket white spoke wheels, manufactured by a dozen different companies. I'd take one of the wheels off and see if there are any identifying marks on the back side, but more than likely you'd have to remove a tire to see those.

Re: wheel question
If they are aluminum, your best bet would be like Keith says. Remove it and look for the manufacturer somewhere on the rim. Good luck.460F100 wrote:these are on my 70 f250 16.5 alloy spoke. the valve is behind the spoke who makes these? i need one more to make a set of 4. the 4th wheel was damaged and thrown away by the original owners.

Re: wheel question
460F100,
These guys have gotten me out of a bind more than once with some hard to find valve stems an/or tubes:

Prestige also has a fairly large selection of them:
http://www.prestigewheel.com/RetailValveStems.asp
I just went through this on my Alcoas, you might need to measure the valve stem opening (removing an existing valve stem) to get the correct diameter.
I wound up taking 90 degree stainless stems and "tweaking" the bend out to about60 degree to work for me.

Re: wheel question
I think he's looking for the wheel, not the valve stem. He mentioned the valve stem because the placement was unique.

Re: wheel question
they are deffinatly alloy. i was just wandering if anybody has seen this type of wheel and maybe who made them. did not know if this type was one company specific or differant comapnys made this type. i did have the wheel off before and did see anything inside the wheel. someday i will pull one off and look better before i break it down.

Re: wheel question
16.5's are obsolete. Tires are very hard to find and soon to be non-existant for them.
