Look to be optioned wheels on a Mustang. Like the Bullitt wheels. Unless the Shelby center caps were added on.

The first wheel looks like a 67-70 Shelby Mustang wheel, but only going from memory.
The second wheel looks like a second version of the very early American Racing 5 spoke. Name escapes me at the moment.
Both should have markings on the back, maybe along the rim of the wheel.

It's a Cragar S/S wheel (or a knock off of one). The Shelby center cap is the only part worth anything, as they are still sold new.

Mason, what we are saying is that the Shelby center caps can be added on, they arent hard to change. But the centers are what are worth something. They look like a Mustang wheel or a cragar knock off.

It's a centercap, it's probably just stuck. There is supposed to be 1 bolt holding it on from the backside.

These:

Are what Shelby Cragar's (65/66) are supposed to look like. See how the spokes have a sunken center? Again, still sold new.

These:

Are the 69/70 version. Again, still sold new.

These:

Are the correct centercaps for the above wheels.

If you want to make it look new again, the background should be painted blue.
