    Hi, those are mid 30's Studebaker car wheels. Pretty rare wheels. I come across those every once in awhile. I'll contact you if I do.

    Hello,

    I've been through this whole thread and there are a few similar wheels, but no matches. These are 17" BUDD wheels with the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern. There is a raised lip where the hubcap should mount. And, there is a ring that is attached to the outer lip. It was originally chrome prior to sandblasting (the chrome was flaking off). I've got a decent pair of them, but finding their mates may be difficult without knowing what they are.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mitch

    Could you tell me about these rims? These pictures are all of the same rims, I have four of them. They are a big 6 on 6+ inch pattern and they are 16 x 5 1/2 wide. I also want to either weld or bolt an insert to fill the center so I can redrill to a 5 x 4 3/4 pattern. The center hole is about 4.5 inches in diameter. These appear to be pretty heavy duty. I would like to know if anyone has welded the cast centers with success and I would like to widen the rim for the back of my car. Any thoughts here? Gary

    Just wondering if anyone can help me identify what these wheels might be off of? They are 17's 5 on 4 1/2 not positive of the rim width but thinking 5 inches or so? Tyre size says 5.25/5.50-17 so thats why I think they could be 5 inches wide? Thanks for any help.

    I just purchased 3 of these (I'm getting one more match). They are 17", 4.5 pattern, 12-slot.

    They look the same as yours. Are they 1935-1936? I got 'em real cheap. Are tires harder to find? Seems like nobody wanted them.

    Hi there, These 16" 5X5.5" wheels are a long drive away. Sooo...I am building a Rat Rod that will use 1954 F-100 front drums and 1948 F-1 rear drums. Both those drums are about 11 1/2" in diameter, which is about the same as the artillery wheels. QUESTION: What are these wheels from and do you think they'll fit on those drums? Thanks in advance for your help. TJ

    I am in search of 16” artillery wheels with the old ford 5 on 5.5in bolt pattern. From searching through old threads, it seems like the Budd and Buick wheels are most common. Take a look at the list below and add any wheel options with the 5 on 5.5" pattern.

    - Budd Mfg made for Ford 4.5” wide
    - Kelsey Hayes made for Ford 4.5” wide
    - 35-36 Buick 6” wide

    Since I’m looking for wheels, please PM me or email me at James.L.Banta at gmail dot com if you have any 5 on 5.5” artillerys.
     
  25. Hey Mike,

    Can you ID these? 16", 4 1/2" wide, made by Kelsey Hayes.

    Thank you.

    Steve

    How about these? 16inch looks like a little bigger than 5 on 4.5. I picked up a pair for the tires on them ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1376366084.853824.jpg
