A good set of 1926/27 Ford wire wheels and hubs is going to be be in the $1000-1400 just to buy no work done and after market wire wheels, way over that for hubs and wheels maybe 3 to 5 X's that by time you are done. You could re-spoke your own wood wheels buying spokes from the suppliers for about 140 for each wheel plus shipping add the cost of cleaning your hubs and rims etc. Lots of videos on You-Tube how to do it. if you don't want to re-spoke your self, there are a number of people that can do it for your. ball park would be about the cost of the Ford wire wheels or less.

Another option would be to buy a set of adapters to use the Model A wire wheel.

You have a highly recommended wood wheel shop close to you, might be close enough that you could drop off and pick up if you go the wood wheel route;
