Identify 1998 exporer alloy wheels

Can anyone help me identify the alloy wheels on my 1998 Ford Explorer XLT. I need to buy a new one and the salvage yard has 3 numbers for that year with no pictures. Are the numbers stamped on the wheel? Or could it be drived from the VIN tag.

Did the salvage yard give you the three OEM numbers? If so, you could Google them, select "Images" and see which matches. Be aware that there are 15 inch and 16 inch tear drop styles that look very similar.

I would expect the OEM part number to be cast into the wheel somewhere, maybe in the center hub (under the lugnut cover) or maybe on the hub ("dirty") side of the wheel.

Thanks, I have already done both no luck. I havenen't looked at the wheel backside yet though thanks for responding

yeah, pull a wheel off, I think I remember seeing a number on the backside the last time I had a wheel off of my 99.
