I have been looking for some 15" Vintage Wheel Works "Vintage 48" wheels and caught wind that a wheel division of Kelsey-Hayes might have produced something similar in that height. However, I can find no Kelsey-Hayes site and only 12 year old defunct references to the wheel division, Western Wheel. It appears that K-H got snagged by the Firestone tire lawsuit as well as a pile of others, ranging from wrongful death to unsafe working conditions. I also fond out they were parented by TRW and then Northrup Grumman bought TRW, but only TRW has a reference to K-H and it was a broken link about them closing a plant in Ohio in '05.

Does anyone know if Kelsey-Hayes now ceases to exist?
