Picked these wheels up at a local swap meet and have been trying to figure out what they are off of. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.They are solid rubber about 1" and the wheels are 29.5 inches.They have ford caps and are stamped ford on the hub itself. Tires say patent Firestone Akron ohio May of 1899. Have more pics if needed.

There is no record of Ford factory wheels like what you have.

My guess is they are aftermarket wheels with solid rubber tires made in the late teens or early twenties for use as 'wagon' wheels. Trailer or carts were popular aftermarket products that were sold for farmers to haul produce to the city with thier Model T's.

You might try looking at this site:

Click on where it says Navigation page and go from there.
There are a lot of photos there of cars, you might get some idea by looking.
