    My dad picked up a set of unmarked wire wheels, they are 5 on 5 1/2, 7in wide adjustable spokes, chrome, and look just like the 50's Kelsey-hays. They also came with a full set of caps that are unmarked but have a couple knockoff style wings

    Do these sound like the mid 50's chrysler deals, are they KH's, and how uncommon are they? or are they just some old aftermarket stuff
     
  2. Well with a 5 on 5.5 bolt circle they certainly aren't chrysler. Pictures would help imensley also. Furthermore if they look cool who cares who made them...right?

    Kinda late on this; fwiw, not only were 53-56 Chryslers 5 on 5 1/2 but Chrysler Aspens 2007-2011 are also 5 on 5 1/2!

    Yes, they are for Chrysler and Imperial in those years. I have a set on my 51 Imperial.
