Well they are definitely rare at a 16.5 x 9.75 size, my 58 F250 has 17.5 rims and it was hard to find tires for it, Now I think they are called what you have listed "WESTERN WHEELS" Cyclone Turbine Rims... and I have seen them on EBAY fully restored for like $1200 and in the average condition yours are in $500 to $600 range. if you clean them up you will definitely get more. Overall a very desirable set of rims, you are pretty Lucky to have a set, and if I had the Money now which I don't because of CHRISTMAS TIME coming up I would love to purchase them from you. OH WELL.... I'm sure you can find more info on them...

what they bring on ebay and what they sell for are a whole differnet ballgame. the last two sets i bought look very similer to the ones you have there. one set was free the other was 150 bucks. tires are hard to find some times and the lug nut are rather pricey. yes a very few people are buying them and cncing the sine back in to them. thats why they want so much for them. as for rare well maybe hard to find but i wouldnt say rare.
