Re: [FWDLK] kelsy hays wheels and 58 plys Gold Vs on ebay now



What Kelsey-Hayes wheels for Mopar?  There is NO SUCH THING. 
 
All the '50s Mopar wire wheels were produced by Motor Rim and Wheel.  This gross mistake has been promoted down through the decades in every kind of publication from rodding to restoration.  I am flabbergasted to see knowledgeable Mopar people continue it.  NO Kelsey-Hayes.  Every ForwardLooker ought to know this FACT by now.
 
There were four types of Motor Wheel wire wheels.   1. The chromed short-lace for Imperials with the 5.5" bolt pattern.   2. The chromed short-lace for Chryslers and DeSotos with the 4.5 inch bolt pattern.   3. The chromed long-lace for the Dodges and Plymouths with the 4.5" bolt pattern.   4. The painted long-lace for the Dodges and Plymouths with the 4.5" bolt pattern.   They all used the same two-bar cast pot metal chrome center hubcap.
