Anyone know what vehicle used this wheel as original equipment?

Not a real good pic, but those "disc" type wheels I believe are late 20's/mid 30's vintage. Pre hydraulic brake style. Guys at www. stovebolt. com might be able to pin it down for you better. HTH.
Any vin tags on the vehicle it's on? Pics of the vehicle, or frame?

There are four on a wagon that's on my ranch. I believe it's the one used by early Mennonite owners of the property to haul materials to build the dam and spillways.

I'm going to disassemble it for removal and disposal but don't want to get rid of some part that might be valuable to someone else.

...unless someone needs a VERY odd nostalgic and quirky object to mow around and decorate their front yard.

That looks like good yard art. Where are you located?

4-lug, but frighteningly the closest thing I could find:

1924 Dodge?

Probably other 1920's cars had this style wheel too - my Google search turned up references to solid steel wheels for Model T's, but no pictures. I wouldn't throw them away without seeing if they are valuable to collectors/restorers. A matching set of four may be a big plus.

The octagon? hub covers could be a dead give-away for the maven - if those are split-ring rims, they could be simply farm-wagon rims

The wagon's in central Oklahoma. Personally, I wouldn't travel across the street to acquire it.
