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.
