    Picked up a stray unique wheel today, says kelsey hayes and alcoa. Its 15x6 stamped in the inside shell with a 58 next to the kelsey stamp. 5on5 pattern, Buick, Olds. Pontiac?? Next question is where can I find 3 more.

    That is an one off, turn key, wheel with patina! No way are you ever going to find a match to that specimen. I really wonder what the center hub cap part looked like. Awesome.

    No idea. It's freakin' cool, but I have no idea what it would look good on... Maybe I just don't have that kinda vision.

    Sweet. Guess I have no vision. I looked up the caddy, and the wheel looks slick with the cap on it.

    Dang, I have searched the net for 25 minutes. I can not find a match to that wheel. It is driving me totally crazy! And I have a super HIGH speed internet connection.

  17. I have a odd pair of wheels and was told a long time ago that they were made by Kelsey Hayes. When I read this post, I went looking on google images to match yours. Although I couldn't find yours (glad someone else did for you) I did find mine. Yenko Camaro "Stripper" wheels :D
