Default Wheel ID please

These are 5 on 5.5s and I think I measured 18 from bead seat to bead seat.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

If they actually measure 18" at the bead diameter and maybe 19"+ at the overall diameter, I would say they are '32 Ford wheels. They also appear to have bent spokes based on looking at rather small iPhone pictures.
Now if they measure about 18" on the overall outer diameter and around 17" at the bead diameter, I would say, '33-'34 Ford and about 17" on the outer OD with 16" on the bead diameter would most likely make them '35 Ford wheels.

My 33 Plymouth has this type wheels on it . 17" though . Just a guess but I would think 32 Plymouth is a good possibility . If they are 17" I would buy them as spares .

Not Ford wheels.Spoke design and hub design is different.Plymouth has smaller bolt pattern.

I can not see clearly from here but do the spokes come thru the rim and look like nail heads?
A description of 17" Dodge/Ply wire wheels:
36 spokes in 2 sizes--3" and 5".
5 stud holes and 1 smaller extra hole.
5 x 4.5" bolt circle.
Rear inner hub dia 9.5"
