Help I.D these ‘original’ 6.5” steelies

[Milesdodge]

Hi all, I thought Mopar didn’t make 15 x 6.5” steels. These are advertised over here in the UK.
The advertised PCD of 110mm just seems wrong to me, should be 114.3 (4.5”), surely?
Any thoughts?

Typically used on C Body cop cars in the late 1960's to mid 1970's before the popular 15x7 "rally" style cop car wheel came out in the late 1970's. I have owned several sets and used them on my 1/2 ton Dodge pickups. 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern. I still have a few now.

Thanks for the info, looks like I need to contact the seller to clarify the bolt pattern as like you, I believe they must be 4.5” Pcd

I agree with the assessment that they are late 60's on (likely truck rims). If you go all the way back to early 60's they would likely use the bigger dog dish caps, even on trucks, I do believe. I see that same seller has those early style as well in another listing....

Think there are numbers by the valve stem. If you can get the numbers they should tell you what year they are. Might have to post the numbers so somebody can decode them.

Talking of valve stem numbers, my friend turned these wheels up the other day. I’m thinking they’re Dodge truck rims, 15 x ? With 4.5”

Thanks, some more wheels turned up this week, completely smooth and look like truck wheels to me, 15x? and 4.5” pattern. They have M2 stamped on them

Chrysler called that a "Safety Wheel". Likely wider than 4.5". I rarely see them, but I know the early "C" body land yachts used them. I'm sure I have one from a '71 New Yorker here somewhere.... dunno about the M2. Also, notice those would use the tiny dog dish caps, like most '68 on rims would.

15x6.5 steel mopar rims were a part of the HD package on my 1977 Cordoba.

Thanks, I meant 4.5” lug pattern, the wheel looks to me about 6” but it’s not in front of me to measure.

Is that the same as in my pic, the green wheel?

That solid centered wheel looks like the 15x6 type I had on my 71 New yorker years ago.
