I love this wheel tire combo, can someone please tell me what they are?

They might be these:

Gennie - Chrome outer / bare center

I also like theses.

 

They look like gennies. They definitely have trim rings. Chrome outer rings go completely to the outer edge. You'll notice some red between the trim ring and tire indicating press on trim ring.

 

Gennies:

TAAA-1007-B .. 15" x 5.5" "innie" wheel: 1953/66 F100.

B4C-1015-A .. 16" x 5" "innie" wheel: 1954/66 F100.

FoMoCo never offered a chrome wheel for any of these trucks. 1977 was the first year Styled Steel & Aluminum wheels were offered as an option for F100/150's.

6A-1130-A .. "Innie" Hubcap-Ford letters painted blue / Reproduced: Late 1947 & 1948 Ford Passenger Cars, 1948/52 F1.

1953/56 F100 hubcaps similar, but Ford letters painted red / AFAIK, never reproduced.

Innie, so called because the hubcap snaps onto tabs located on the inside of the wheels center section.

These 'ribbed' beauty rings were available in either 15" or 16" for 1940/48 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln Zephyr/Continental passenger cars. You'll have to look in a truck accessory brochure to see if available for F1/F100's.

During the Korean War, white wall tires were unavailable, so FoMoCo had an option where they painted wheels red to brighten 'em up. KW ended in 1953, but FoMoCo continued to offer this option thru 1956.

IMO, white wall tires look out of place on these trucks as they were only available dealer installed.

If you look at factory photos of 1932/47 Commercials (1/2 tons), 1948/52 F1's, F100's thru 1960, you won't see very many with white walls, that's for damn sure!
