Deb83 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 While cleaning out my Pop's garage I came across a set of 5 of these wire rims but I have no idea what they are from exactly? Can anyone help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I see adjustable spokes, but that bracket across the center is new to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A lot of English and continental cars had a bar across with a screw to hold the hubcap in the centre. Being a 5 stud rim is unusual for British cars, but maybe Vauxhall from the thirties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb83 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks. That's what I was thinking. There was some Pullman Humber parts there too, just not sure what went with what. Any idea as to what they are worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb83 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 I've also seen similar rims on the Ford Roadster, could they be same size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 You might post some measurements of what size and of the mounting hole spacing . This would assist someone else to help ID them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Those wheels appear small like 15" or so,small for what period they appear to be. They remind me of those Kelsey-Hayes accessory wheels all the early Ford guys are nuts over. None that I ever saw had that strip across with the threaded stud tho or a double rolled bead. From what I can see the strip looks original,not a later weld-on. Can you see a name or a KH between the bolt holes front or more likely in back? And as recommended above,get tire size,hole pattern,width between beads,etc. If all the measurements are in inches and not millimeters they could be a custom wheel that came out in the fifties or sixties with their own bolt-on hubcap. In that case there should be interest in them from several directions of the car hobby. In any case,that strip could be removed and a conventional hubcap used.
