Wheel ID

I thought that all of my wheels where the same but this one is different.
Anyone know the years ford use this style. No obvious identifying marks.
It looks like a 15 x 6 rim.
Are the little ***** on the rim to hold a trim ring?

it looks like a typical 70's era 15" steel wheel. likely ford or kelsey hayes. center hole looks about the right size for ford. jeep . international would have had a larger center hole for the 4wd hub. i assume your other 3 are the "innie nub" style

I don't think it's that new, it doesn't appear to have the safety beads that were added in the 60's.

I will run it by Walmart and have the tire removed. The hubcap mounts outside the wheel center. The three little bumps are unique. Maybe a wheel off of a piece of off road machinery or trailer?

This has me stumped too. This is an instance where the outer rim is the issue rather than the center disc. I find only one example of a rim having nubs along its ledge, but that wheel as a whole looks nothing like this one. But it does also have a 5 x 5.5" mounting circle. The wheel I found having the rim nubs is a trailer wheel. It's possible some application mated the rim I found with an automotive style center disc, but I don't find it in my references. Stu
