T wire wheels
I found two wire wheels that I at first thought were for a Model A but they are different.... center hub is about 9 inches diameter by maybe 1 1/4 inches width (of hub) has 21" tires on them. Seems to have a larger bead roll than an A wheel too. Could they be T wire wheels? If so, what are they worth? They are nice and straight, no bent spokes etc.

Re: T wire wheels
Model T 21" wire wheels have 5" bolt circle.
The wheel hub drum is approx 9" in dia. The hub cap opening is approx 2 1/2" dia. The tapered looking 'Dixie cup' like shape of the center of the hub is the best way to identify quickly. |

Re: T wire wheels
Definately could be T wheels. 9 inch hub is correct. Were you looking for A wheels?
I have five 9 inch T wheels, but the hub-cap opening is 2-3/4 inch instead of 2-1/2 inch, so I can't use standard wire wheel hub-caps for 26/27 wire wheels. $50 to $100 sounds pretty reasonable. |

i sold a set for the same reason. they did not fit my 1929 . the lug pattern= five on four and seven eights inches. the hub hole is too tight for a '28/'29 front fit. good for a '26/'27. very deceiving. |
