Wire Wheels Junior Series
Wire Wheels 101 - Hot Wires: Part I
According to Jimmy McLean and Chrysler devotee John Lazenbee, the wheels for junior-series fullsize cars (earlier DeSoto, New Yorker, and most letter cars) featured a 5x4-1/2 wheel-bolt pattern, 48 spokes, and a 5-1/2-inch-wide rim. Senior-series cars (DeSoto and Chrysler wagons, Imperials, and allegedly the first-year letter car) had a 5x5-1/2-inch pattern, 52 spokes, and a 6-1/2-inch-wide rim. The early Packard is identical to the senior-series Chrysler, except it has the 5x5 pattern and larger hub register. The real Motor Wheel Corp. wheels have slightly longer spokes and a slight "trough" where the hub transitions from its smaller to larger diameter. View Related Article
