That is the bolt together rim for either the WW2 Dodges, or very early M37 Dodges, although by production time they were using he locking ring type split rim.

That rim is suitable for Dodge APT I believe.

I did a bit or looking in the net and I believe I found what this tire/rim goes on. It appears to go on a WW2 era WC 52

And M37... A lot of guys from G741 like the combat rims for their look and ease of changing tires. I have the original Kelsey Hayes wheels on my M37CDN and most US manufacture are Budd lock ring wheels. Good rust free combat rims are becoming difficult to find around here.

Jess, the wheel in the photo is probably Budd.

I'm sure you are correct, as they made most wheels of that size. I was surprised when we blasted clean the wheels for my M37CDN and found they were Kelsey or Kelsey Hayes. I had always assumed they were Budd wheels but Canadian production was supposed to benefit Canadian based companies.
In the M37CDN, the engine, transmission and pto were Canadian produced, likely all the rest of the stuff came north from the various US suppliers for these vehicles. I'd grab a set of the those wheels if any decent ones came up out west. Most I've seen were rusted beyond safe use.
