We have a pair of these wheels, pretty sure they are off a big car of the late 20's or early 30's, just not sure what. The tire size of the US Royal is 6.50 18. They are the removable outer rim style (the outer bead was chrome on this wheel, it is not there). We can't find any numbers stamped on the rims. Any assistance in identifying them would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Some models of FRANKLIN and REO cars used seven lug wheels in the early 'thirties.
Franklin used 19" wheels from 1930-33. In '34 they went to a drop-center type wheel.

It looks like the wheels I used to have from about 1934(guess) V12 Cadillac. The man who finally broke up that car never had the engine (mid 1950's), used the front hubs and stubs for a trailer DC welder he built for us which had a 1924 Chrysler engine. He made the rear axle into a farm slasher, which was lost. I got the gearbox for a friend to whom I gave the wheels and hubs, who was gathering parts to build a V16. Ivan Saxton.

ok, looked up pics of Franklins and they all had the lugs outside of the center of the wheels, so am guessing it is NOT for a Franklin.
The Reo Royale looks like it may be correct, not sure.
Can't find any good info on the Cadillac wheels, the pics I have found show a one piece outer rim, not the kind with the separate outer rim, have to keep searching I guess
Kind of looks like this 31 Packard has the same style wheels, trying to find a list of wheel bolt patterns to confirm:

For what it's worth, here's a shot of a wheel on a 31 Reo Royal. I don't know the size.

that is what i was thinking they were, but I can't find any info on what cars were made with 7 lug wheels
They also look like Packard wheels, but i don't know if Packards ever had 7 lug wheels in 18" size, looked all through the Turnquest Packard book and no info ...
last year I found a chart on the internet of old cars and their bolt diameters and bolt centers (hindsight says i should have printed off the info, but hindsight again) but I can't find it now.

I have an 1930 Chrysler model 77, that has 7 lug 5.50 18 inch wheels. Front wheels have lead weights, rear do not have weights. I will take a look at my wheels, I think the back tires might be 6.50 18 inch. If you are interested in selling, I am always looking for spares. Brian Coffee
