    No idea. Looks like the spokes are reinforced at the rim, though.

    Chevy truck, around 1940, 3/4/ or 1 ton. Father used the axles to make trailers. Hub cap said Chevrolet. Wheels on this 40 [?] PU, close. Tires in the 8.50 size range. All I got, I was about 6 yrs old, '54. [​IMG]

    Lay a straight edge across the back of the bolt pattern. Is the center significantly lower? The marks on the back make me think of Ford mechanical brakes

    Jumbo style Ford wheels?

  9. I agree with oldolds. I think it's one of the General Jumbo wheels made for Fords by General Tire. Do what Wheelkid said--the General Jumbo wheels were made as an aftermarket replacement for the '32-'35 wire wheels. IF that's what it is, '32-'35 Ford hubcaps will fit it. Very desirable wheel if you can find three more.

    Identical to these 16 inch Studebaker wheels on Ebay
    eBay item number:
    154877515910
    So freaking identical I looked at your photos and his to make sure 16 inch Studebaker art wheel back.jpg 16 inch Studebaker art wheel.jpg 1935_studebaker_dictator.jpg
     
  11. Looks like you nailed with the Studebaker. I didn't know that Stude had the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern. Learned something.
