 I have 3 wheel tire combos, that came off an antique car. unfortunately I have no idea what vehicle they came off of.

would like help in identifying them .

Welded spokes usually means Ford, but those 17-inchers look a little big to be from a V8. Maybe a mid- to late-30s Lincoln?

That style of wheel was first used in 17 " form on 32 fords. Shrunk down to 16"  and eventually 15" until pressed steel wheels replaced it.  I don't think they are Lincoln but it's only a hunch.

Not mid to late 30's Lincoln, way too light and Lincoln had 8 lugs.

These wheels are only welded on the rim. Ford wires are welded on both ends. These aren't Ford. Possibly 33-34 Chevy standard.

There are two types of wheels here.  Pictures 1 and 2 likely are '33-'34 Ford wheels.  The bolt hole circle and rim width could confirm this.  I cannot determine if the the tire size on these wheels starts with a 5 or a 6, but often anything that would go on the rim was used, especially during WWII.  They are not '32 Ford's which had 18" wheels, nor Chevy which had 6 lugs, unless the Standard was different.  The last picture is of a "bent spoke" wheel, and seems to be of a smaller diameter.

Kelsey-Hayes drop center wheels were first used in 1932. 17 inch became very popular in 1933, 1932 not so much. As to make, I have no idea.

I agree with Dave Henderson now that the first two are Ford. I saw the bent spokes and unwelded wire of the third wheel and assumed they were all the same. I heard Chevy standard used 5 lug wheels that's why I suggested it. It's just a guess.
