I'm guessing that "Magnum 500" isn't the answer that you are looking for? LOL

Are they ford passenger bolt pattern?

Then next you'll have to measure the offset. These things were sold over the counter at places like Sears and tire stores and there are allot of different configurations.  At first look they appears to be pre stafety rim 14" magnums

The markings on the rim are very similar to those found on Magnums used on Hertz Shelbys but the off set would tell for sure.

Purchases some locally last year - just the off set was different so if I choose to rechrome them I can have the centers removed and located correctly for the Shelby application since my set is not
