The wheels are from Motor Rim Wheel company, but are often called Kelsey
Hayes wheels because that is the one everybody knows as a source of wire
wheels. The Motor Rim wheels were used by Chrysler and by Packard, and are
of much heavier construction than the much more common Kelsey Hayes wheels.
If you have such a wheel, you can identify it for certain by looking at the
inside of the rim, right next to the valve hole, you will see the
manufacturer's imprint stamped into the metal, along with the wheel size
code. When you get used to looking at them, you can spot a true Motor Rim
wheel from across the parking lot!
