Post by: socaltugcapt on June 04, 2020, 12:44:16 PM

Can anyone tell me if these rims would be correct for my1950 CJ3A ?

It looks correct to me. Have you searched for K-H stamped on the inner ring?

Those wheels look a bit to modern to be original on a CJ-3A. Maybe original to a CJ-5.

Thank you for the response ! I thought they might not be correct but they didn’t have the hub cap ridges. Oh well, the search continues.

The kh with creased disks are basically all post 1955 era.

Roger, thx. I guess 16” rims might be a little easier to find

We had dipped into comparing different wheels a while back on the old 3B forum on Tapatalk. This wheel you're asking about appears very similar to a couple I  purchases a while back.

If they're in good shape, they could be worth riding on until you can find the correct style.

This thread needs a topic title.  I had trouble clicking on it to read (seems the hyperlink is the title).

Thanks to everyone for the input. Rus, they look exactly like the 71 Renegade rims pictured in the CJ3B link.
