    6 holes are usually Chevy.
    Looks like 16 or 15 inch. by the tires. They could be farm wagon.

    Yes. I have seen hay wagons with 6 lugs artillery wheels and plain hub caps. Not homemade factory bought. The above truck is probably the answer.
     
  5. The above trucks wheels appear to be a little different.

    They're aftermarket, from Clark, Firestone, Motor Wheel, or any of the sellers of the early thirties "Jumbo" fad tires.

    Those are '35-'36 Chev Master or pickup 17'' wheels.
     
  10. These were 16's
     
  11. Yep. The Chevy spokes are ~sharper.

    And the ~centers look different. On the rusty ones the mounting flange is flat versus ~embossed.

  12. What are jumbo fad tires? I'm finding "General Jumbo" artillery wheels.

    If anyone has an ad for aftermarket artillery wheels handy, please post.
     
  13. Oh, I see. 8-spoke artillery wheels and big ol' balloon tires that look like they're for an antique airplane like a DC-3. Post #15: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2118285

    The aftermarket businesses made the "Jumbo" wheels in several styles - wire, disc, spoked, & solid.
