Tom, on our Canadian sourced cars, there are two types of Kelsey 88 rims. One has a flat base and a solid ridge around the outside where it clamps on the felloe. The other has a rolled in groove in the bed, and the rolled ridge wedges on the felloe. Both work, but the flat base one is better.

Hope this helps.
