Guest Hudson33 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Looking for advice,comments or suggestions for early teens spokes wheel designs and patternsFred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Friend recently had striped some early wheels. See if I can describe, not the same for every car but a typical pattern.One or two circular stripes on hub.One or two circular stripes on felloe.Each spoke, two stripes starting close to the hub, following the curves of the base of the spoke, then joining to one stripe most of the length of the spoke.I'll see if I can find a picture, if description isn't clear.These are very fine pinstripes, NOT a big wide honker of a stripe....the purpose was to accent, not overwhelm...

Marty Roth Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Here is the example of what we had done on our former 1914 BuickClick once, and maybe twice on the photo to see enlarged pictureSingle stripe on the felloe, Single stripe on each spoke, splitting toward hubSingle stripe on hub"DOT" on each bolt/Rivet holding hub.... hope this helps with our idea Edited January 24, 2015 by Marty Roth (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yup. Tasteful accent......................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, what Marty shows is what I described and is typical..sometimes with two stripes on felloe and/or hub instead of the one shown... .typical with the exception of the dots.....which are an interesting touch but don't think you'd see in any period photo...
