Title: 68 kr wheel, Ford script, #'s maybe wrong?
Post by: Harris Speedster on April 16, 2018, 06:18:26 PM
Kelsey Canada
N 15X6   JJ  1     1   7      C k2  inside rim
K2      1     17    60
2                       valve stem area

Wheel hub
scrolled and circled ford script   K2      TC      A       1
                    2       C

Has the correct lips, 4 dog cap flanges, and off set, 2 7/8ths as stock KR wheels have.
Would like to find out what its worth.
There is a topic at this time on KR wheels, and this looks very correct down to the ford script, but I can not make sense from the numbers provided above.

The 68 ones usually have FoMoCo script.

What's the size of the center opening?

What is 2 7/8?

Post by: Harris Speedster on April 16, 2018, 09:49:10 PM
YesK2>>> and a 2 under the K2.

2/7/8 offset from wheel edge to hub seat.
Same measuremnet others have used to show correct off set of the wheels center

From what I have seen on theses wheels like the one you have;  the center hole may be the larger type.  I have a K2/1,  looks the same as a Shelby wheel except center hole isn't correct size

Agreed, sounds like a later version of the 1968 wheel.

Ford continued to use a similar wheel into the 1970s....on full sized cars

Center hole, using a std ruler, looks to be 2 3/4 in
Depth from lug area to outer rim on front side, is 2 7/8th's, again with a std ruler.

Same as a kr wheel,?

No, the center hole should be 2 1/2 inches in diameter and fits tight on the axle hub

No. Not the same as a 68 Shelby wheel. 1968 Shelby steel wheel= 2.425"-2.460" center hole( varies slightly on the examples I have) & 2.5" depth from front side center hole flange edge to the outer wheel edge.

Sounds like the other one....the DOLY-A is similar, but not the one used on  1968 Shelbys

If the identification thread is not clear or incorrect, I would be happy to adjust it accordingly

I come up with a 4 1/8" back space and 16 3/8" O.D. on the wheels I have.

Thanks for clueing me in, and possibly others with similar wheels.

The center hole is an excellent start to see what you have>>>> bigger hole like mine>>> no sense to investigate further.
Kelsey sure used many different numbers, quite confusing unless you have truly stopped and deciphered their many numbers to get a grasp.

This topic discussion did just that.
With respect,
john

I would take Rodney's measurements into account as well. Mine were approximate, but I do think the center hole is a good clue. The later wheels seem to have been enlarged in that area.

I do think I had a NOS "DOLY-1007-A" wheel with pink marks on it once....
