Those look like Chevrolet. Are they 6 lug? If they are 17" and 6 lug they are 33 Chevrolet.

Thanks for the replies. I'll bring them in town this weekend. Then I can get measurements and a better look. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Living in IL it is always a factor.

Charlie has quite obviously a better eye than I do. I would take his advice. Mike

Some (first picture for example) don't appear to be Ford. Note the way the spokes bend as they enter the rim (or maybe I just need glasses). They may be another make (do they have a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern?). They also may be aftermarket from Kelsey Hayes or Motor RiM and wheel. If they are the after market wheels that were made for Ford and they are in good shape they may be worth a couple of hundred each to the right person. Charlie Stephens

The wheels appear to be Ford. The proper place to measure wheel diameter is across the area where the tire bead sits...

I'm about to give/away sell a stack of early 30's wire wheels. I have found a basic guide that tells to identify them by rim size and valve stem placement. Is there any that are particularly valuable? Anybody need a specific one? Are the widths measured from the place where the bead mounts or the outside edge? Pic of some attached. http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af358/unslow1/Garage%20parts/Garageparts2-8-14040_zps7b78c6a1.jpg
