i have no idea of the origins or what they are called. they are 5x5.5 and i think they are an 7 inch wide wheel. The mechanic that aligned the front end had them in the back and wanted $100 for the set. how could i pass that up?

I am not usually a big fan of lowered trucks, but talk about down down in the weeds! That is a great shot (except for the guy).

those look like the magnesium wheels i had on my bronco untill i busted one the first trip up maple canyon i was doing about 45mph on a road that most people would only dare to go 15mph on and i spun a tire in some loose gravel then the tire grabed onto somthing and sheared the the center part of the wheel off (the part where it bolts onto the spindle) so i put my spare on and went home and put some stock ford wheels on it

but this was on bronco with a built 400m that see's some really rough roads your bump would probally be fine as long as you dont do to many burnouts :fr:

Yup. It's a '69 grill, I'm a '69 guy :D . The truck was all original with a beautiful '71 grill, so when i had my '69 parts truck (429 donor) I swapped the '69 grill on because i like it better, my truck's will match, and the '71 grill was a little too nice to put on a desert truck.
