Where can I find 16.5" rims?

I was offered a set of barely used 37x12.5 Goodyear Wrangler MTs for $350. I'm going to buy them, but I can't find a 16.5"x10" wheel to put them on. Bolt pattern is 5 on 135. I didn't want to spend a lot on wheels, but since I'm getting the tires for so cheap I don't mind spending a little more for the rims. Thanks in advance.

They are old size that curses 1980's and older trucks, so it will be tough to find one in the metric F-150 pattern.

Yeah that's kinda what I was afraid of. That sucks because I really want to buy those tires. Would save me a LOT of money.

Found one. I think it's the 15th one down on this list.

It doesn't list a price, and in my experience that's never a good thing

I just called them and they can get them to me for $620 shipped. I'll have to come up with $1000 sometime soon I guess.

I believe Eagle Alloy still makes the popular 058 model in 16.5 for our trucks.

One thing to think about is unless you find tires for a bargain next time, replacements to fit on your new rims will be more expensive than 16's and possibly 17's after this set wears out. Tire selection is also smaller as well.
