Group,
Please look at the rim I have shown below. In the first picture it looks like an ordinary K-H rim. Flipping it over though and looking at it from the inside I noticed it doesn't have the three rivets (like all other K-H rims I have seen) holding it together but rather two welds as shown below. This makes me believe it is a reproduction and I was wondering if my hunch is correct? Thanks, |

I have a hunch it is simply a later manufactured rim, don't know anything about the repros.. No sign of any maker's stamps inside the rim? Late wheels reproed recently should have a DOT number on them.

Thank you for Bringing this up. I too was concerned my 15s were not stock. Does anyone know a supplier/link for a replacement 7.00x15 Rim/Wheel? I am short a spare.

There were two military solid disc rims. One was the 4" which was also used on the CJ2's and a 4.5" military solid that the slat grill parts manual reads was used on the first 5 slat grills and where necessary and to be used w/ 6.5x16" tires. These 4.5" solids differ from the column shift solids in that the area where the inner tube sits has a 90 degree shoulder on both sides but a 4.5" civilian solid has a 90 on one side and a sloping 45 on the other. ------------------------------------------------
I have a 16 inch motor rim with 90 degree shoulders on both sides. But it is slotted. Any idea on this rim. Mine also is welded, not riveted

This has been supposed gospel, ever since Ren posted a page with pics from Bill Oakes and others. Lately a bunch of 90/90 civillian rims have been showing up.. I think it is another case of never say never with Willys...

I just realized my Jeep has one odd wheel. I bought my 2A in non-running condition, trailered it home, and immediately started tearing it down. I noticed that it sits kinda funny, but thought it just had one odd sized tire. I measured the wheels, and I found one seems to be an inch smaller in diameter than the others. So I thnik I have three 16 inch wheels, and one 15 inch. I have read some of the posts about wheels, but I'm not really sure what kind of wheels I have. Long story short, I guess I will be looking for a 16 inch wheel. Any advice?

Not all solid disc rims used on the civi jeeps were 90 and sloping. Mine were 90/90 but they were leftover military rims.
Jeff once told me he saw pictures of early civilian jeeps at a dealership w/ a solid and a slotted rim on the same jeep!!!
Bet these guys are laughing at us. No one threw things out back then.

My dad's low-mile original tan #17xxx has 90/90 K-H's on it. Haven't been able to measure the width yet because there are tires on the rims. My 11054 has its original MW's on it
And my original '46 18xxx has 90/45 4.5's on it.
Dad's 42 GPW 89xxx - converted to a fire jeep has 90/90 x 4" KW's on it.
