Wire Wheel ID ??????????

On the left is a stock '35 Ford wide 5 16" wire wheel on the right is a KH (stamped on back) 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern AND is 6 1/2" wide inside lips, 15". I would like to find/buy more of the KH but don't know what to search for exactly. I was told it could be a 1935 IH International Harvester P/U but not yet convinced just yet. Got a clue? As you can see the Ford cap fits the KH. Thanks

 

K H ...is Kelsey-Hayes I think...

 

Yep, I know they are Kelsey-Hayes, I need to know what year or years they made them and what for...........................

 

i know they are kelsey hayes, i have several of them in good condition if you are interested

 

ltex, I am interested in several depending on price. Can you tell me what they came on? Please PM me with ph.#ber & best time to call. Thanks

 

BTT for the dinner crowd.....................

 

Are you sure about the bolt pattern? If they are 5 on 5 they might be the Cadillac El Dorado wheels out of the fifties. If you are interested in buying a couple of these contact me.

Yep, bolt pattern is 5 on 4 1/2" . If they were Caddy they would have been chrome & adjustable spokes?, these are neither.....................

 

i was buying a roadster cowl from an old man one day and i noticed alot of wheels laying around that were these kelsey hayes wheels and also just really nice regular wires too, i bought a couple and i told him id be back for more sometime, if anyone is interested give me a pm

 

I am still in need of IDing these wheels in hope of finding a full set or two. Thanks

 

BTT, still need a bunch of these wheels if I could ID what they came off of originally. Thanks

 

Wery interesting to know what they came off
and those studs on the inside what are they?
some way to ad balance wheights?

 

'33 IHC would have 16" rims.

 

Yes I would ***ume the studs are for wheel weights, I have one other KH that is a 16" with these studs but that's the only one I have seen till I found these wider 15"............

 

What bolt pattern would the '33 IH have?

 

I'm thinking MOPAR in the 50's?.

 

They are NOT 50s Mopar wires since the Ford caps fit without adapter rings unless that 32 V8 cap cap is just sitting in there rather than tightly clipped as it would fit the Ford wheel..

The Ford KH factory wheels are welded spoke wheels.

The 15" KH wheels are not welded spokes nor are they adjustable, it seems.
They are perhaps some mid-late 30s heavy car like Auburn, etc. OR just an accessory wheel for the m***es.

The three npples on the back side inside the rim may be a clue as to what they are.

 

I think they came off of a 1956 Dodge D500

 

70s reproduction for later radial tires?????

 

IHC's had the same bolt pattern as Mopar and Ford cars. Your 15" wheel could be an aftermarket wheel for one of them.
