Misc. Help me confirm this, or dispute it.

I was born into a S Cal jeep club back in 1963. The club we belonged to was very active in parades. At some point between 1962 and 1966 my dad made 3 sets of - what I believe - the very first custom wheels/rims ever made for a Jeep. These were a 5 spoke aluminum center attached to a chrome ring (? Proper term). My father was kind of a armchair engineer and what promoted him to build these friends was the fact that we were in a lot of parades and he wanted his Jeep to stand out. It did. Unfortunately I was too young to know what was going on in the jeeping world back then and was hoping that maybe somebody could tell me if there were custom rims being made for Jeeps at that time. I still have the original mold and four of the rims

Holy !!! What a history.
Unfortunately I'm going to say that most is gone except from your memory.
Please continue to share as we want to learn.

What model and years were the jeeps ? Also can we see the wheels ? Cool story.
