I only have one of these and I don't know much about it. What brand is it? Hub cap area is threaded on the inside. Appears to be for a 30 x 3-1/2".Wire Wheel

Hayes wheel looks like a rear

It's a Hayes, 23". The rears are hard to come by. Fronts seem to turn up under trailers and buggies but the rears were discarded with the diff. When you do find them, often the keyways are badly flogged out. I can tell you how I fix them if you need to know.

The integral brake drum is the hardest part to find when rebuilding them. If the drum is shot, so is your project. That said, Royce's dad mated Hayes front wheels onto the rear of his roadster somehow.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. Headed for a small automotive flea market this morning and wasn't sure of the brand. Hopefully someone needs it!
