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.
