OEM chrome package wheels?

I really like these wheels. Anyone have a site that sell oem takeoffs? I don't want to get my current wheels chromed, I'd rather have the factory ones. Just like these (thanks muddyape for the picture).

Another question about OEM chrome

I wonder if the rims that come with the chrome package are chromed aluminum , or chrome-clad the differance being the chrome-clad is just a chromed cover that is over the wheel. Anyone know?

I like the chromed aluminum ones, I think the chrome clad ones look like crap.

The 07 chrome package wheels are chrome clad, meaning it's chrome plated plastic on a skin that's mounted to the rim. In other words, it's a cheap copy of a chromed aluminum wheel.

I've got them on my 07 and they look nice, however these chrome clad wheels are very suspectable to damage due to brake dust. It only takes a few days and there's permanent damage.

My suggestion to you is find something different.

I think I'll have to stay with stockers. Granted I like my truck clean but often times life doesn't allow me to clean my wheels or truck every couple of days. I've got a buildup of brake dust at the moment that needs to removed but haven't had time.

Here's a site I used for Chrome Lariat Wheels. Great prices and Service. Although I am local, they ship Nationwide...
Go to the links tab to see Ford Wheels

I have a pair of Factory chrome wheels from the Limited Expedition '07. These are 20" chrome wheels with less then 50 miles on them...let me know what you think

I am located in SE Michigan. I can email you pics off of the Ford web site right now to see if you like what they look like. Then if you do like them I can email you real pics of the wheels and tires. These are OEM wheels and tires.
Thanks,
Dave

I found them on ebay. I do like th em, but I'm afraid shipping and the cost of the wheels and tires will make the price too high.

I am not sure what shipping will cost. How much are you looking to spend?

I was really just trying to price out those wheels at the moment. I'm waiting for my bonus check to come in during April. I need new tires for my truck which was going to cost me around $800 and thats what I was looking to spend.
