    Is there any way to tell if this is an "original" jeep 15x8 wheel from the renegade era?
    Patrick posted a picture of his and they have a different bolt circle. Is it best to check the center hole diameter? Or are there any mfg markings that KH put on the wheels?
    Thanks

    keep in mind that Kelsey Hayes (sp?) made many different steel wheels in that era. I have 15X8 ford rims on my Jeep and they are stamped KH on the back

    Occassionally these wheels show up as NOS. Sometimes the Kaiser part number is intact. #994733
    Otherwise I have seen some stamped K17 on the inside of the rim,

    Sorry for the dead end link.
    I posted a link to the "craiglist and epay" part of this website in case someone is looking for rims.

    Not mine and I was tempted. Price seems reasonable.
