After some discussion with Sherwood Kahlenburg, I'm going
to recant.
As SK points out, ALL Mopars used Motor Wheel (Motor Rim
and Wheel Co., Detroit) wheels whether they were long laced as on Plymouth and
Dodge or short laced as on DeSoto and Chrysler, or the Imperial wheels with the
unique 5.5" bolt pattern and some Plymouth and Dodge wheels were painted argent
silver and some chromed. All DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial wheels were
chromed.
Hudson and Kaiser Fraser also used Motor Wheel
wheels.
Ford used Kelsey Hayes yet in every custom and hot rod
magazine for all of eternity, they have said and will continue to say that those
wire wheels in their photos are "Kelseys" or Kelsey-Hayes.
Hope that helps others as well as myself!
Wayne
