    Hi guys, I bought a couple of wheels recently and one of them have a different spoke configuration. The wheel is a 16" Ford wheel, the other wheels and other spoke wheels I've seen have the spokes in an 'X', but one of the wheels have the spokes in a 'V'. Any ideas of what the story of this wheel is, or what it's off of? Thank you.

    One other guy that saw it said it looked like a spare wheel also. If it's something odd or unusual, I will find it. Thank you guys

    Yep, it's been cut down. Nail it to a wall and wrap your air hose on it!

    Don't believe me huh? Look at the sloppy welds where the spokes meet the rim.

    Yup, looks pretty rough, I think we will use it to hang the air hose on.
