theyre not a factory ford set, but they do look pretty good on an E series.
a wreckers down here did a bulk buy of them a few years ago - i know he has none left as i was going to buy 5 if he had any.

i dont go there anymore, but if you cant find out what brand and stuff, i guess i could make a trip there to ask.

Anyone who remembers THEGRK will know he had the same ones. However I can't seem to find a record of what they actually are.

almost positive that they wont mate, im pretty sure the hole in the rim is quite large...
that said you might be lucky...


if not, go to a rim place and im sure they'll be able to get something for you....
