Look on the back side of them or possibly near the lug holes there should be a date. There is a number inside also. There was a post in the 1966 area about decoding wheels. I will look for it.

I have a few 16.5" rims in my back yard too. I am guessing they are pretty much worthless now because there are very few 16.5 tires still available.

That first one is a '71-up (disc brake) K5/K10, the second is 1/2t GM from the early-60s back, the third one is a Ford 250/350 wheel from the '80s-back, and the fourth is GM but can't tell if it's clip-type or no cap type...which would be aftermarket. Is it wider than the others

If 6-lug, yes. 8-luggers used that style through '68. That type of cap will swap years if same lug count, same as nubs type do.
