See if you can find some casting number or some sort of ID. Then maybe you can find someone who is looking for that part. Something tells me that is harder to find than a T-bird/cougar part.

Make a lamp out of it.....or a ceiling fan light fixture,and hang it above your dining room table (sorry,It's been a long day and I'm tired).

lol.  I meant roadster wheel like the '30's race cars, then I found the thunderbird link as a joke, lol. 
It's a neat find, though.

I'd guess the wheel is mid/late 30s... Tire, prob late 40s, maybe early 50s...

Whitewalls in the 30s covered the complete sidewall...
