Proper 66 wheels?

Ict57 · Oct 1, 2016

I don't normally care about original. But the u13 is pretty close and too cool to butcher in my normal style. So my question what are the correct 66 wheels, if there is such a thing. I have 4x of the silver wheels. It only 3x of the black KH style (so I'd need one more). So which would a 66 have come with?

Note-I have two 66s both of which are very original so I'm hoping they're both legit. If so I'll just clean up the silver style and call it good.

I thought 66 wheels had a different shaped window/opening where the center is attached to the outside of the rim. I'm no expert, but that is what I figured from reading a bunch of threads here.

I scoured an EB salvage yard, and found 2 different rims with this window opening. One with K/H and one without. Otherwise they are nearly identical. I assume they are all from Broncos. It's really all they guy ever had. I couldn't find 5 K/H, only 3, and I grabbed 2 of the non-K/H. I don't know what the difference would have been, probably early build vs later.

Early had K/H wheels. But 66's were all over the place in terms of parts used. What month 66's?

October build. Thanks for help guys.

Ps--are the KH wheels worth much?

The top pic (black wheel) is most definitely correct for 66'. Large K/H print with the Ford script opposite. They changed the print/stamp at some point so the second maybe as well, but can't confirm for sure. As far as value, don't be giving those black ones away!!

Hi, my 66 has wheels like in the top photo. 15 x 5 1/2 inch. Good luck

There are wheels with the large K/H stamp that are from later years. I have K/H wheels with 68 & 69 date stamps. You have to pull the tires to see the date stamps.

Thanks all. Anybody have a KH wheel or two laying around??

Ict57 · Oct 2, 2016

Wow. Didn't realize these were that big of a deal. I'd half planned to put the 3 wheels on a truck to get rid of. Thanks y'all.

I've never seen the large K/H on anything other than a 66 or 67. Post a pic of the stamp.

I went to my storage unit to look. And apparently I've confused several sets of rims.

Landshark sent me these pics, I believe he has 2 of them:

Am I correct that 66-67 wheels have the square window opening like this wheel?

68 & later are like Landshark's rim?

As others stated, the top pic is 66 and what I have (5 of em). Black is before I blasted and painted. Much better in Wimbledon White.
