Technical Who makes this rim ?

hi it's a 16 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern just don't know much about them

 

My guess is an early Jeep. They had the big hole in the middle w/five bolt holes and no provision for hub caps. Just a guess though.

 

could be a farm implement, want more?

 

Tires say 6.50 x 16 inch rim

 

2nd on the jeep idea

 

3 for Jeep

 

4 for jeep

 

Thank you everyone ! Wish I know the years

 

(WHEEL)

 

Wheel ?

 

Is the center welded in or riveted?

 

It ain't a rim, it's a wheel

 

Weld on

 

Weld please look at photo

 

Found two stamps on it

 

Bump still looking for answers can't find much about them

 

Definitely early jeep...

 

I am not sure but I think it might be a jeep. Maybe someone else might add a line of what it might be.Or could it be 4 wheel drive bronco?? Intenational harverster ?? Russian or maybe german field car with 1/2 track perhaps or Maybe a JEEP. Or maybe a land rover. maybe a 1955 XK 120 jaguar.. Last a dana 44 axel.

 

Most early wheels were not welded (before the 1950's) they were riveted.

I can remember making reversed wheels for my '55 Buick by drilling out
the rivets , flipping the center piece and using several taper punches to
align the center before welding them back together .The first thing I learned
was to drill a new stem hole in the new front side of the wheel, before
mounting the tires rather than after.

i restored 3 willys-jeeps of different making years - for me rim is definately willys Jeep postwar production - started on the first civilian model CJ2a and was used on all willys 4x4models throughout the 70ies (not sure about end of production of the rims)

 

A five hole 5.5” bolt pattern with a 4.125 center hole will fit a jeep and an International truck with 4WD it also fits the older Postal jeeps but they used a 15” tire.

 

The rim was probably made by the same company that put the center section into it and made it into a WHEEL.

 

if you cannot find the date code on the outside , it will be stamped on the inside of the rim under the tire .

 

I Own over half a dozen Willys jeeps, as stated, international/Jeep, the early ones had clips on the inside for center cap(CJ's) I have these wheels all over the place...

 

word

 

Me thinks he's been hangin' with that "donk" crowd.

 

Here in the South they are called wheels & rims.' It kinda depends on which part of the State your in. HRP

 

Rims - wheels, every one knew what the OP was asking, even included a picture. What would we do without the word/grammer police?

 

Continue to say it wrong?

Around here the dubs crowd calls them wheelrins. Every time I see an '84 Cutlass with 22+ inches of wheel and rubber band tires I jump up and holler, "Circle the wagons!!!!!"



The wheels look like Ford truck wheels to me by the way.

 

I am late tot he party, but with the large center hole, those are likely Jeep wheels as stated by several before me. The large center hole is required for the hub size on the 4x4 axles.
