Wheel ID

Burnout · March 02, 2007, 12:11:23 PM

First post here, been lurking for awhile. Working on my first rod project a 34 International. I have 3 wheels that came with my project so I need one more for a set. They are 17 inch wheels with 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern. I looked for any markings or stamping for ID but could not find any. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
Scott

I'm thinking Mopar, Dodge in particular, about 1933. And I may have one. I'll take a look.

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah I think it might be a dodge wheel. One of them still had a plymouth hub cap.

I'll dig through the wheel pile. I know I had a pair, but one was rusted out. I think I still have the good one.

I found that wheel if you still need one.

Send him both of them. With thread-in spokes they might be Kelsey Hayes wheels and if he had the center he could use it to make his spare tire. Ford used 17" wheels in '33, '34 but I do not know if they used Kelsey Hayes during those years, If they did I would not be surprised if they had the same spoke count you could re-lace the center into a different rim. That would make him a matching spare and keep your city fathers happy to see you cleaning up your yard. Just trying to see if I could still type. GPster
