Yeah, I could also tell from the wheel's offset that it was meant for a large vehicle. I originally thought it was for something like a dually or heavy hauler (something where the hub sticks way out). The final pic shows the ten lug holes (which I missed the first time), so it must be a semi truck wheel (as you suggested). I don't know of a pickup with ten lugs, only class c type vehicles.

When I first posted, I assumed it was for something like an f-350, because you see a lot of those dressed up around dallas. I couldn't see the bolt pattern in the top pic. You were right about it being a semi wheel. I guess we both had it half right. You knew it was a semi wheel and I knew it wasn't from the ups truck...

The way people dress up their vehicles these days, it could've been for customizing a car hauler, tow truck, semi, rv... who knows?!? In any case, it looks like an expensive wheel to me. One that I hope had insurance on that package.

Whatever kind of wheel it is, the pictures are great.

I'm surprised UPS didn't intercept you and offer to buy your memory cards on the spot. That's their usual M.O.
