Post subject:  Firestone Wheels?

Starting to haul junk home from my 46 Fodge project and found some steel wheels in the cab. Slotted steel rims 15 x10, five lug, looks like four and one half bolt pattern. One is really rusty hope it can be salvaged. The funny thing is there is some stamping- numbers and such but Firestone is clearly visable. Been on the internet and the only thing I found was a guy asking a question on a Car Craft forum about his Firestone wheels that are five spoke steel rims that resemble Cragers. I assume :shock: that these could have been used for drag racing puposes but am not sure. Anyone hear/ recall /have info on this? Thanks for your help!

They were likely a house brand made to be available with whatever FarStoned tire.

Firestone used to make drag slicks but was unlikely to sell them on steel rims.

Sounds like a 70s thing.

Firestone used to sell rims that were "branded" by them in the 50-60's.
My Dad had a firestone store back then.
