Mid-'50s-mid-'60s Ford wheel is what I think it is. Look for the size stamped in the rim. It may have other markings as well as size

I'm surely no exert on these wheels, but I think the original wheels had 'clips/retainers' for the hubcaps? I have one original off my C20 and it has them (sorry no pics, ..but I'll grab one if someone doesn't beat me to it

Ford went to inner nubs as seen in the picture. Their vents slots were larger and they triangle bumps between each lug hole is characteristic of Fords
