    I have two wheels that I would like to know what they came from, 15"x 6" with a 5 1/2" bolt pattern. They have 4 dimples that are in the rim just below the lip in the tire bead area, I assume for a wheel cover or beauty ring. DSC03448.JPG DSC03449.JPG DSC03450.JPG
     
  2. Ford pickup.

    Exactly what I was going to say, look like Ford pickup wheels, and the size is correct..

    If they're Ford, they should have a Ford logo on them someplace shouldn't they? (it may be obscured by rust.)

    I agree with Stuart. Ford logo usually on one of the flats between the lug holes. Jeep, IH scout, and others use that pattern

    I believe those are 49 to 51 Lincoln wheels the bumps around the out side are for full wheel covers they will take a 50 merc cap but are 1/2 inch wider. I ran a set on the back of my 32 roadster .kind of hard to find

  10. The 1950 Mercury has 15 in x 6 in wheels with a 5 on 5 lug pattern, not 5 on 5 1/2. HRP

    Thanks everyone for the response, I couldn't find any logo between the lug nuts, so 49-51 Lincoln seems to be correct. In the picture of Tim Troutman's roadster wheel, I can see the dimples around the rim like mine. That Firestone whitewall on the red wheel looks great!
    Thank's again
