Could you help me identify these wheels?

I was fortunate enough to buy a brand new set of four 6.00x16s for a good price at a swap meet a couple of years. I didn't pay much attention to the wheels that they came with, but now it's time to find a buyer for them. At first glance I thought that they were '35 & '36 Plymouth, they look very similar, however the bolt pattern and the center hole are way too big. I suppose that makes them Kelsy - Hayes, but I'm not sure. My guess is that they off of an independent, perhaps Nash, Studebaker, etc. Heck, maybe even Hudson. I'm just not that familiar with pre-war Hudsons. The wheels were freshly sandblasted, primed and painted. I pressume that someone bought a recently restored car and street rodded it.
Here's the dimensions on these wheels:
16" x 4 1/4" (bead)
3 1/2" Center hole
5 Lug, 5" pattern
10 "spokes"
No hole for an alignment peg

They're definitely not Hudson. Only year Hudson had five bolt pattern and these "artillery" style wheels was '36. Hudson wheels had more holes along the outside, had locating-pin holes, and clips for hub cap.0
