Been cleaning out a shed and found this 18x5 wheel. Not sure what it is off but wish there was two of them for my truck.
 
wheel guess

Hi zpi28,
My first impression was farm equipment wheel, too. Maybe John Deere 'D' tractor. I will go out and have a look 'round my stash, and get back to you.

Hi again zpi28,
I had no John Deere 'D' steel disc wheels, only spoked ones, but I still believe the 1947-53 'D's would have those 18" slightly concave wheels. Here's a Massey-Ferguson 95 wheel, 18" and six bolt, but convex.

Milk truck tires!!

I saw a set similar yesterday on ebay and it said they were 18x4 or 5 and they were rare and special ordered for milk trucks in the 40's Ithink!
