Wheel Identification
Anyone know the manufacturer or source of knock-off wheels with a small diamond marking and the numbers: D-49985? The letters inside the diamond are unreadable.
What marking would appear on factory knock-off adapters and spinners?

If the wheels have the K-H and D-49985 cast-in, they're original Kelsey-Hayes wheels, and the back side of the original spinners will have the last three digits of the part number cast-in, with the RH or LH designation.

Thanks John.
I don't believe these are original K-H wheels. They appear to have led a rough life. The number is correct but the K-H marking is not there. The diamond with the unidentifiable markings is diametrically opposite across the center from the number D-49985.
I have a mixed bag of eight spinners and adapters I am trying to sort out. One set of spinners are clearly marked Taiwan with set screws (obvious repos), the other isn't marked as being from Taiwan and has no set screws. I can't recall the marking if any right now. A cursory inspection of the four adapters on the shelf showed no obvious markings, but one has locking pin slots. The other four are on the car and at least one appears to be stamped as to which side of the car they fit.
I am on the road right now and working from memory. If you don't mind, I'll PM to you what I can find in a week or so when I get home.
TIA for the help.
