Original Steel 16x4.00 Kelsey Hayes? Solid Disc Rim For Slat Grill Willys Jeep on 2040-parts.com
Iron River, Michigan, US
The following info should be read with the following understanding ... I am not an expert on these solid rims, and the information regarding them. I have done some research, and what follows is true to the best of my understanding.
This is the original 4 inch solid disc rim that came on the Willys slat grill jeeps. It's in pretty nice shape, but not perfect. I took pictures of the light damage areas.
I'm not sure what year this is ... from the research I've done, I expected to see a two digit year stamp near the '2' (see close-up pic), but I don't see any. I don't see the Kelsey Hayes stamp either, but these are the 90 degree rims that KH made, and not the 45 degree that you would find for the Motor Wheel rims.
The rim was sandblasted and has white primer.
If you know about these rims, view the pics and make your own determinations. If you are not an 'expert' but want original, correct rims for your slat grill, I can send you links that cover the subject matter.

Land Rover Discovery – 20 years old +video
Mon, 16 Nov 2009Land Rover Discovery 4 - The latest iteration of the Discovery It’s a sure sign that I’m getting old. Policeman look like they’ve just come out of short pants (which in the case of the ‘Plastic’ (community) police, some have); white cars look old-fashioned (although I’m coming to terms with that one); my arms are only just long enough to read the newspaper and my back goes out more than I do. But I can now add another to that list: Land Rover’s ‘New’ car – the Land Rover Discovery – is 20 years old, and it only seems five minutes since it hit the market.
AC Cobra Mk VI to show at Monaco
Mon, 13 Apr 2009AC is due to show the AC Cobra MK VI at the Top Marques Show in Monaco Despite being a UK car maker, AC is to build the new Cobra MK VI in Germany, at Gullwing GmbH, which gives a clue to the car’s unique feature – a removable hard top with gullwing doors. The AC Cobra has a long history, and is one of the most sought after replica cars on the market (which is hardly surprising considering the cost of an original Cobra), and is said to be single handedly responsible for the UK’s national 70mph speed limit, which was brought in after some extremely high-speed incidents on the new M1, where AC was testing its cars. Why bother with a test track when you have 100 miles of fresh, straight tarmac courtesy of H.M.
Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition – costs £200,000
Sun, 14 Sep 2014The Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition in Carbon White It’s only a month since the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish (and Vanquish Volante) were revealed with a series of updates that manage to turn the Vanquish in to a much more appealing car. That new appeal is mainly down to AML finally ditching their ancient six-speed auto ‘box and replacing it with a new 8-Speed ZF ‘box – which cleverly sits inside the old housing – increasing performance, drivability and economy in one fell swoop. The Vanquish now gets to 62mph in a very respectable 3.8 seconds and can top 200mph, despite which official economy improves to 31mpg (more like 16mpg in the real world).
