    I found this wheel in a junk pike. I need to ID it so I know what to look for (I need 3 more).

    15" wheel, 5" wide.
    5 on 4.5" bolt pattern.
    Very shallow on the front side and lots of dish on the back side.

    I'm thinking it is 50's Chrysler product as it has the 5 spare holes with hubcap clips. The last photo shows the color best, it's a robin's egg blueish with 3 red pinstripes...

    Can anyone help with a positive ID?

    Looks just like the one on my 50 Plymouth.
     
  3. 40- 41 or 46- 48 dodge I think. Could be the same as 50 Plymouth?

    I would say '49-'54 Plymouth. I think the center changed slightly in '55

    I have a set from a '54 DeSoto which look identical. I'm going to tell you that any 49-54 Mopar product would have a wheel like this. The extra holes are for the locating pin for wheel bolts, and the hubcap clips probably indicate that these were on a cheaper model (Plymouth most likely) but I think the wheels are all the same.

    Yep, them's 49-54 Plymouth wheels. The 42?-48 earlier ones are 16" and look similar.

    Awesome. Thanks for the responses guys. If anyone has spares, I need at least 1, but I'd like 3.

    I'll put an ad in the cl***ifieds....

    thanks again...

    What's it going on? You might have better luck getting Ford wheels...

    Plymouth, but only if it's 4.5 wide. Have you have the tire off and measured how wide it is?
