15 inch cats eye wheel
« on: April 25, 2018, 01:23:28 PM »
Guys,
Not a 15x5.5, but a twin in all respects otherwise,
15x5 KH wheel, cats eye, 2 1/2 center, 3 snub for dog cap.
Even was silver from new.

What might it be worth guys, if anything.
Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

The 5" wide wheel is still correct for the 1960 352 HP cars.  That was the only year they used the 5" wide wheel.

Brian,
Thanks for the reply.
Was not sure of its usage.
It is a twin to the correct 65 Shelby wheel !!!!

But is 5 inch rather than 5 1/2 inch.
Best regards,
John

I just bought a set of 4 KH razor cut 15x5 wheels off house trailer for $200.00. They are identical to the Ford wheels except there is no KH and Ford stamping on the rim. They are welded as the Ford wheels were. I'll use the centers and mount them on 6" rims.

Yes, they show up on all sorts of equipment.  I have seen them on farm implements, generators, camp trailers and horse trailers....without the Ford logo of course.
