I have about a half-dozen kit boxes filled with parts from the late 70s, and I'm usually pretty good remembering what came from where.

They are 6 lug wheels, 15.5mm barrel diameter, with 16.5mm outside diameter at the rim. They also have the typical AMT/MPC wheels boss on the back, for metal axles. The spokes are molded closed. They look like more modern wheels, with little offset. With the lug pattern, I'm guessing some sort of 4WD.

My old brain is getting soft. These have me stumped and I can't recall what kit they're from. Any help would be appreciated.

AMT Ford Courier.  2WD stock version.  Nissan (Datsun), Mitsubishi (Dodge), and Isuzu (Chevy LUV) all had six-lug wheels on their 2WD pickups.  Toyota was the only one to have five-lug.

Well, thank you. I would have never figured that one out. I don't ever recall actually building that kit, but apparently I got the wheels from somewhere! ??

I appreciate the quick responses. I can now go back to the squirrels in my head, already in progress.

Your parts knowledge always amazes me Mark ?
