Hi Guys, I scored some wirewheels today which i tought were ford 5x5,5. Kinda rough but very cheap Much to my suprise They didnt fit. So i measured them and They were 5x5,91” or 5x150mm. I havent found any results by searching Google. Does anyone know what i scored? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met H.A.M.B.
Looks like the 40 bent spoke wires, there were two aftermarket manufactures of these wheels, Motor Wheel and Kelsey-Hayes. HRP
All Buick from 1930 on is 5 on 5 inch All Cadillac from 1930 on 5 on 5 inch All Oldsmobile from 1930 on 5 on 5 inch All Pontiac from 1930 on 5 on 5 inch No offense, check how you are measuring, you can find posts here on the HAMB Or and maybe your drum is not Ford.
I think mid 30’s Lincolns had 5x6 bolt pattern wheels. That would be real close to demonss measurements..
Kelsey Hayes wires were aftermarket wheels, from what I gather they were not used on Buicks until 53/54. HRP
I have a pair of 15 inch 5 on 5 inch Kelsey Hays that have replaceable spokes that are supposed to fit late Cadillac, big bolt pattern Chevrolet like Impalas & Chevrolet Five lug pickups. Maybe that doesn't answer your question but a lot of people use them on the rear along with regular Thirties KH 5 1/2 on 5 by 16 inch rims for bigs 'n littles aka O-rings and donuts.
Yeah, i was thinking the same but i cant find any info on that either Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met H.A.M.B.
Thx, I measured it the right way, my other wires (genuine ford) fit Nice on the rims. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met H.A.M.B.
I pulled the tires and look inside the rims KH-made in U.S. So my guess is as Good as anyone Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met H.A.M.B.
