It's hard to say for sure without knowing the wheel diameter and I can't tell from the picture. I would guess that they are somewhere between 32 and 34 Ford though. 35 wire wheels have more spokes and 28-31 are larger diameter than those I believe. Anyway, here's the breakdown. If anyone can figure out the diameter of the wheels in your pic then you can narrow it down or maybe someone with more knowledge can say specifically what year the wheels are.

1928-1929 21" diameter
1930-1931 19" diameter
1932 18" diameter
1933-1934 17" diameter
1935 16" diameter (but has more spokes than the wheel you pictured)
 
they`re 28-31 , 32 and later I think the lug nuts were inside the hub and you couldn`t see them

There are still alot of the old wheels around. I have a huge pile, but mostly pairs, few sets. I dont know what those are off of for sure. The best thing about the ones in your picture is the small center, and 5 bolt set up. I kind of think 31 ford, but it is just a guess

'30-'31 they are. 19" dia.. '28-'29 are 21" dia. and have a more pronounced rolled edge at the bead. At least that's how I remember it.
