    Does anyone know what old car might have used this bolt pattern, 5 lug x 5" centers. Surely not Ford or Chevy, don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bob Stanley

    Olds, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac all used that pattern.

    I also think 56 Mercs were 5 on 5 as well.

    The stamping has a FoMoCo look to it, I’m wondering maybe 55-60 Merc? @alchemy what do you think?

    41-48 Cad if it's 5.5" wide, 48-52 if it's 6" wide. The 53-55 wheels had no hubcap clips.

    Thanks to everyone on the input related to these old wheels. Amazing! So now that we pretty much know where they belong, they are available for sale if anyone might have a need for them. I will take the old tires off, they can be shipped as a pair. Many thanks, Bob Stanley
