question Wheel Rim Question

[shopnut]

Recently aquired two 7.50 x 50 bar tread tyres on rims, which I intend to use tyres & tubes on a CCKW, but the rims as you will see from the pictures, are unusual, can any one indentify them?, they are stamped ' K.H. Made in U.S.A.' and the number 53, which could be a year date?.

As I need to remove tyres & tubes, I do not know how to strip down the rims, athough there could be a locking ring in the rim centre, just visable in one picture.

 

Thanks in advance.

Don't know about the rim, but I would be careful about using those tires. I see signs of weather checking/ dryrot on the sidewalls.

Appreciate your concern, the cracks are ony minor, see far worst on a lot of CCKWS and other vehicles, I would never use tyres that I thought were dangerous to me or anybody else.
