    Can you identify these wheels?

    Have 2 of these wheels. They came out of a barn that had an offset front and rear axle for a Model T Ford racer. They are for 18" wheels and have 5 holes on a 5" bolt hole pattern. Fits Model T Ford wire wheel hubs. Thanks

    '33 Dodge had similar bent spoke wire wheels and Ford bolt pattern.

    Re: Can you identify these wheels?

    I wish I knew because I have 2 matching wheels that came as "wrong" spares on my 32 Nash. 18x3, 5 on 5, bent spoke. You will note that the longer outer spokes actually criss-cross one front, and one rear spoke...which is unlike many other 18" wheels.

    My Nash needs 5 on 5.5, plus those hubcap holes are too small for Nash caps.

    Are these the ones that were ended early on ebay, with knobby tires? [img]<>/smile.gif[/img]

    Yes these are the same wheels. When I realized that they fit the Model T, I decided to keep them. I've been told that they fit 18" wheels 5/5".1932 Plymouth, 1932 Pontiac Six.1932 Rockne.1932 Studebaker 6.1932 Dodge DL 6.1932 Chrysler CI 6.

    Any interest in selling the matching pair wrong for your car? Thanks

    They are Pontiac. I've had a pair for well over 35 years looking for two more, they fit right on 26-27 T wire wheel hubs. Do you plan to keep the offset axles as well?
