They are usually called magnum 500 wheels but the correct terminology is "road wheel". They were only available in 14" diameter.

Thanks. Guess I'll be looking for those. I have 14 inch aluminum mags on mine right now.

A member here has a really nice set for sale. Look in the parts for sale section.

OK I checked. His set is nice and clean. Rings aren't chrome though, neither is the rim. The front tires are larger then the rears.
When you see these type rims at swap meets are any chrome and complete?

The trim rings on the 14" wheels were always the brushed style.  There wasn't a chrome trim ring on the 14" wheels.  The rim is black when a trim ring was used.  I think in 1968, the road wheel was chrome and didn't use a trim ring.

If you want a chrome wheel, you'll have to buy the repro Ford wheels.  They come chromed and in 15" sizes.
