Do you have a picture to post, or can you email one ?
Also, what is the diameter of the center hole ?

Could be either Ford or Chrysler wheels as both had 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

34Ford, I will post the pictures you sent me, and here are a couple comments I have about the wheels you have. I'm NO Expert, but I believe my info below is right, otherwise, others please chime in.

You told me they have a 2 3/8" center hole, I believe Ford went to 2 3/4" center hole in '69 for cars, so I think they are '68 and older car.

They also appear to have the outer nubs for the 10 1/8" hubcaps
(that's standard Ford hubcap size for '49 and newer Ford cars)

They have the raised metal around all the lug holes, which signifies they will fit disc brakes, and Ford first introduced disc brakes in the mid 1960's, so i'm guessing these wheels were manufactured to fit about late '64 to '68 FoMoCo cars

Though they were manufactured to clear disc brakes, they will actually fit 1949 to 1968 Ford cars without disc brakes, too.
