    Hi guys, my dad found some neat old artillary wheels on a frame buried in some junk. The lady who owns the property said if we take the whole frame the wheels are ours. I haven't seen the wheels or frame in person. Dad said he judged the wheels to be 20 or 21 inch, the tires on the side he could get to were in bad shape and he couldn't read a size. He couldn't see any markings on the frame. The split rim would have to go in order to make them safe, but it could b done. Or maybe they could be some cool wall art. We'll any dig them out on wed or thursday so maybe we can id the frame by a tag or stamp. Any help would b appreciated uploadfromtaptalk1470112935735.jpeg uploadfromtaptalk1470112956374.jpeg

    Never would have imagined it was car, rather than truck. Look at the farm chassis wheel, the tire rim itself must be truck? as it is too wide/offset for the cast wheel....they fudged the lug clamps to fit it.

  6. Quite a bit of difference in the wheel in question and the Auburn wheels. If you click on the Auburn photo, it will enlarge and you can see the differences better.
