Can you guys like me to discussions with pics showing various wheels that are considered Willys wheels used back in the day. Seems like several variants? Did any have factory nubs? or bumps? on 40's 50's?

Generally speaking, there were only two types used from the factory for the majority of production. The most common size for a wheel was 16" x 4-1/2". There were solid wheels and 15" wheels too, but the majority were the 16" size range. Kelsey Hayes and Motor Wheels made similar wheels. An easy reference for the difference between the two is the center portion around the lug holes are pressed differently.  The red wheel is a Kelsey Hayes.  The beige wheel is a Motor Wheel.
