    I have 3 , 16 inch diameter wheels.
    Inside wheel stamp says BUDD92841

    5 lug, 5 x 4.5 inch with an extra smaller hole as well

    narrow. about 4.5 inch wide.

    I thought they were late 40's ford, but I'm not too sure.

    could be chrysler?

    old dodge truck?

    See the extra locator hole for a locating peg? That means wheel bolts not lug nuts, so probably Mopar from about 37-47 in cars and somewhat later in light trucks.

    As far as I know, the ring around the hubcap area is what makes it a truck wheel. I have had several p***enger car wheels and all have clips for the hubcap a nd no raised edge.

    Dodge trucks used clips on the wheels to hold the hub caps through '55; in '56, they switched to the bottle cap hub caps when they changed over to tubeless tires. The small hole would be for a locating stud on the hub, as the wheel would be held by lug bolts.

    Definitely Dodge. I p***ed up a chance to buy a set of five just like this a few weeks ago.

    Dodge, all right. You guys are sharp as usual. (yes, that extra hole is a 'pilot hole' for a guide stud. Wish our '66 'Herbie' had that!

    Herbie's getting studs & nuts. (available at tire stores, for your info)

    Looks like a 49 Ford wheel. Some cars had 16 inch wheels. Most had 15 inch.
