What kit are the normal depth ones out of? I'd love a set.

[anorak mode] Kelsey Hayes never was a supplier to Chrysler Corp. The wire wheels used on old Chryslers were supplied by the (now defunct) Motor Wheel Company and are stamped accordingly. However, since MCW went out of business, Kelsey Hayes makes copies for the restorers and this might be the reason why many people assume they were the original supplier, too. [/anorak mode]

I still am amazed that the upcoming convertible issue of the Hudson does not (apparently) have wire wheels! It looks like I will need to shell out another $30. for the Chrysler just to set my Hornet w/ wires. A little more thought to different wheels in follow-up reissues by Mobius would be nice. Hope they give it some consideration! Because these kits are a home run!

Those are gorgeous. Sweet.

I find it astonishing how many real Mopar enthusiasts don't know that.

I also believed in Kelsey Hayes for decades, until I learned the truth from none other than Chip Loree.
