model a wire wheels

[patina]

Are they worth anything? I scored a few 19 inch model a wire wheels and i can get a few more. I know 32 wheels are popular. But are the worth hanging on to ?

hahaha thats what i got them for lol but theres more there if someonoe wanted a set

 

[donsrods]

The model a wheels are probably the least valuable and desirable out of all the ones for early Fords.......they made a bazillion of them and the only people who want them are restorers.

Wheels look great on that Ford,
but,,,,,are you sure they are model A wheels? spokes look heavier than stock, and fewer of them.

spoke thickness

I'm no expert, but the spokes on the car rims are thinner than the spokes on a truck rim. when I first decided to build a rat rod out of parts I've been collecting over the past 20 years, (I can't pass up something free) ,I noticed some rims had thicker spoke, so I started researching and found that truck rims were made with thicker spokes due to hauling heavier loads. The set I have came off an old Model A homemade tractor my dad was scrapping, that guy would scrap his mother if he could get a nickel for it.

Look like the standard 5.00/19 in the front. For the rears probably look at Coker's website to see what they have.
