Sorry guys, Neither of those wheels are artillery wheels. The steel set resembles them but no. The aluminum wheels are forms a 90s Oldsmobile (pretty sure). If you like them then run them, but dont call them artillery wheels.
That first set of four that @iwanaflattie posted is close enough but did,nt the artillery wheel craze start with the 10 , 12 or 14 spoke CLARK wheels ? About the same time as the 18 inch Divco craze Then you have the General Jumbo craze as well
Artillery wheels are often stamped; look on the reverse, or along the bead line. Here's a set of Budd's that I got in trade two days ago. Other manuafacturers are KH, Cleve-Weld and Clark (no relation ). By the way, if anyone is sitting on a set of Budd hubcaps, I'm looking. (I have a plan, otherwise.) For lots more on these wheels, there's a long-running Artillery Wheel ID thread on the Hamb.
