I have three sets of 16.5x9.75 that have the ridges/beads to hold the tire beads on when aired down. These do seem to be the minority rims in 16.5s though. They're the only ones I have ever seen like that.
It is handy when I let the air out of the tires so I can reach over the radiator to work on the engine that the bead stays seated.

I think the model is muscle. I got them from a tire store / repair shop in Copperas cove. The guy said they were distributer closeouts and he bought all off them his distributer had. He is selling them for $50 apiece. I bought three sets and one spare.
They look good on the Bronco and the F250.
