I thought I was reading somewhere that 14X6 steel wheels were very hard to find. I thought several guys were looking for a set of them on here. How rare / desirable are these wheels? https://kansascity.craigslist.org/wto/d/olathe-1970-challenger-charger-cuda/6809983251.html

Kelsey Hayes rims NEVER have part numbers on them, Motor Wheel rims do, as long as they were not very early ones for 1970 production, when no rims came with part numbers. Saying that K.H. rims were aftermarket is to discount ALL the space saver rims which were only K.H. rims.

I have never seen a KH wheel as original and I have a lot of rims. 68 Hemi 15x6 JK 70-71 390 Rallye Wheels (quite a few early ones with no PN) 70-71 450 Steel Wheels Then some various 14" wheels. Not one is a KH wheel. I believe you, I just find it odd I have not seen one.

The 14x6.0's, 14x5.5's and 14x5.0's. all rims that most guys don't give a crap about because they are for the most part, on base model cars, were made by both Motor Wheel and Kelsey Hayes. Motor Wheel rims have part numbers, Kelsey Hayes do not. Except for, as mentioned, early production ones from July and early August 1969.

I have seen no part number wheels as late as 9/19/1969 Thanks for the info on the KH wheels.

Right now I only see a G and 11 near the lug holes and it seems it was originally white. Thanks for the info. So would you all say that the 4 nub 14x6 is harder to find than the 3 nub 14x6?
