    My Willys truck was 5 lug, but the factory spare was a long lost memory by the time I got the truck.

    Is that a big valve stem for a tube tire?

    could be an old jeep wheel.

    They look like willy's wheels that some one has use a hole saw on the center. Do you want to sell them?

    I would agree with Wheelkid. If you look at the center of the wheel where the lug holes are you can see the flats where the hub cap clips should be.
     
  11. I believe Mike Marinoff had front wheels like that on the front of his Willys G***er. Google images for his car.

    I believe Ollie Olsen had them also, I believe they're stock Willys of some sort?

    They are a stock Willys rim. They are a 4x16 and a 4.5x5 bolt pattern. I've had them before. They were used on a lot of the early coupes for racing because they were narrow. Some were even chromed like the ones in the above picture by the builders. They were made by Kelsey-Hayes. The ones I've had were stamped K-H on the back just like some Ford rims.

  17. Those are the ones I was thinking about, and yes Ollie Olsen had some too.

    I have looked at as many Willys to fined these wheels. I can not fined a single photo of a early Willys with these wheels. I see that some of the early g***ers used them. What the hell are they??? Come on guys I need your input. I'm ready to rechrome them for an extra set of g***er wheels for this project.
