So I picked these up this morning at the swap meet cheap. They are 15" and are HEAVY. I've had a couple sets that are like half the weight. Any idea what they came on originally or why they're so much heavier? The silver are the heavy ones the black is light

I've seen those before but I don't know for sure what vehicle they came from. Late '70s Econoline Club Wagon, maybe? Just a guess.

thanks. i was curious because as i said, they are at least twice as heavy as the other sets I've had but seem identical outside of the color.

Type 6, the heavy ones are made of ALL METAL on both sides and the center piece, and are like for 73-76? And the lighter ones are some metal and a lot of PLASTIC and are for 77-79? I am totally guessing on the year application.
