Hot Rods ID these wheels

Can anyone ID the origin of these 15” wheels , I had them marked as mopar but they could be anything. The car has what I believe to be a 9” rear , but the axle centre boss is too big for a 49 type ford wheel to fit over.. The hub cap nubs while hard to measure accurately only being 3 are approximately 9” od.

 

Utility trailer!

 

Studebaker, and Chrysler had similar looks .

 

Did you ask Adam?

 

The early Mopar wheels look like that but have clips for the hubcaps rather than nubs. I would think Studebaker as well.

 

Late 50s-early 60s Plymoth

 

Nice one @Bandit Billy . Adam has moved out of the country.

 

He's saying they're 15 inch, did any Plymouths from 55-64 have 15" wheels? They do look like the ForwardLook wheels I have, but all of the ones I've ever found were 14's. Would these be the 55-56 specific wheels, post-clips but pre-14"?

 

Is there a pentastar stamped near the valve stem?

 

55-56 Mopar had 15" rims, but they had the tabs on the inside like this:


And since your rim doesn't have those rivetted tangs, I'd say it's not Mopar. I would personally believe they're utility or camper rims, since they often were made in the common 4x4.5 bolt pattern.

 

1955/56 Mopar cars had 15” wheels. 1957 ushered in the Big 3 switch to 14” for most of the passenger car models.

Not saying they are these. But the match is damn close.

 

They could also be Hudson. Hudson used dowel pins to locate the wheel and attached the wheel to the hub with lug bolts rather than studs and nuts.

 

I don’t see any of the holes that Chrysler products use for the aligning pin where ch helps a lot when bolts are used. I wish my OT German —- had them!
