Looks like a model truck tire and rim.

May be. My first thought was "lamp part" because of how it looks like it is made from stamped sheet metal, but then I don't think I have seen any stamped lamp part with a knurling/tire pattern like that.

Yea, I just know from working with prop guys that they use model detail all the time for stuff like this. It looks alot like a Semi Truck front tire.

Good Luck

How big is it? This would give an idea of what scale the donor vehicle is and narrow the search (a bit).

I borrowed your photo and posted it in the General Modeling forum because it was a good example of a weathering technique I wanted to learn.

Someone in there named OhioAstromech said "It looks like it has a Cyclone tire from Mospeada Genesis Climber / Robotech the New Generation."

Maybe this will help.

Let me know if you want me to remove the picture from my post.
