    I got a pair of these rims and see no indication on who made them. I have bought/sold countless wheels but never came across these before. They have an aluminum hub mated to a steel rim, like M/T and a few others were commonly known for doing. Any of you know????

    They were on a few rods in the 1977/1978 era. Didn't seem to be a wide range of sizes available. They were made by Kelsey Hayes I believe, but something in my head keeps saying Cragar sold them. Can't remember right this minute. Obviously not a terribly strong or lightweight wheel.
     
  3. Mercury used a similar wheel on the 1968 Cyclone Super Spoiler show car.

    Yea, a few manufactuers did that (ET did too), but I just never saw them before. Thanks for all replies.

    Yep - Kelsey-Hayes.
    Offered as a special option on the 1963 Studebaker Avanti. A guy in my local club has had a set on his white Avanti since he bought it new in '64.
