Need help identifying these wheels
Hey guys,
Need some help identifying these wheels. I know they’re Firestone, 15x10... I’m not sure if they were offered thru Hickey catalog or otherwise. Perhaps they were only sold thru Firestone stores. I took them off a 1972 Blazer that had quite a lot of Hickey parts. I was considering selling them... pending interest, origin..etc. -Mondo |

Re: Need help identifying these wheels
No idea - but they are cool. Look like some of the ones I saw on DVW earlier today...not sure if they if the ones pictures are painted or there was a chrome option.

Re: Need help identifying these wheels
My thoughts too, Jackman, soon as I saw the first pic with spokes running all the way to the outer rim. With most others, the spokes were part of a center section that could be welded to the rim in a full 360 degree circle. Like this:

Re: Need help identifying these wheels
the outer rim may be firestone but these were sold in bulk to other vendors who put thier own centers in them. sort of like those rim shops do today. lots of them around. just a matter of finding 4-5 that match, are unbent and not too far away as far as shipping costs are concerned.

Re: Need help identifying these wheels
That is the best style of white spoke, really nice looking. Definitely have the Jackman look.

Re: Need help identifying these wheels
I think Jackman made Jackmans and Firestone made Firestone. Jackmans were welded all around the spoke where it met the rim. Looks like these had holes drilled in rim to weld? They don't look as well finished as Jackmans on the spokes. If these are Jackmans there will be a "J" stamped in one spoke. If these didn't have Firestone stamped I'd say they are homemade/shop made. My dad had wheels that looked just like these made (15 x 10) for his '62 Land Rover. Maybe Firestone sold just the hoops.
