ID early Aluminum/Steel spoke wheels.

[mockingbird812]

These wheels were bought new in '63/'64 in the Chicago area and placed on the front end of a Plymouth used for drag racing. They have a 14" rim and a 4.5" stud hole circle and are approximately 5.5" wide, altho a 5" would work also. Description by owner: "I couldn't afford the fancy ones, but these had aluminum spokes and a steel rim". I would like to ID these.

Thank you,

Sam,
I'll send you a picture of one wheel I have at home. Looks very similar to what you posted here. It's a peaked spoke like an American Torq Thrust, but has a steel rim. If I'm not confusing it with another of the wheels I have in the pile, I believe there's a "K" on the back indicating it's a Keystone.
I ran a set of Keystone steel rim/Aluminum face wheels on a '65 Impala I had but honestly don't recall them having the peak on the spokes. Too many years have passed!

Oops,.........way too many years I guess. The wheel is actually an M/T. This one is just as I found it years ago except for cleaning up the face a little. Please excuse the dirt, rust and the cool Mud & Snow tire.

Yup! That sure is an aluminum spoke STEEL rim wheel. She's a beaut . Got two?

[ORIGLS6]

Nope, just this one, but I'd make you a deal you couldn't pass up! Ya interested in that tire too?

Looking closer I don't think this is a match to what you're looking for. Subtle difference in the 'steps' of the rim at the spokes. PLUS, .............. this is a 14 x 6 with a 4¾ pattern.

Dang ! Well then, howz 'bout that hi po tire. BTW, does it got studs?


Seriously though - any of the wheel gurus have any input? Appreciate it.
