Those look like Appliance "wire mags"

yep, john confirmed they most likely were appliance wheels. the ones we narrowed were et's, but they had the same center design. according to what i was able to find out, the et version was made from around 1972 through the very late 70's. i can't say the dates of the appliance versions, but would guess they would be similar. they really looked good on ol "moby", but weren't a popular wheel around these parts when they were new.
