I removed thes Ford V8 wheels from a Model A rear end. The outside diameter is 17 1/2 inches. I plan on putting them up for sale and I would like to know what size they are. Can anyone help?

Can someone look at the inside large hole (near the lug nut holes). It is a weird design. On other 16" Ford wheels that I've seen, the large hole is round. Why are these different?
 
Note that a wheel rim size is where the tyre bead sits.

Not the overall width.

17 1/2 inches overall would be 16 inches at the bead base.
 
It appears that one (right) is a 16 inch wheel ('35)and the other is a 17 inch ('33-'34). The 17 should measure 18 1/2". Gar Williams
 
Aerocraft: You just identified what I bought as a set of 4, 3 had 16" tires mounted, 4th had no tire and as I was getting ready to take to sandblast i measured and it's a 17", my bad. Now I'm going to have to find one more. Thanks for info.
