Has anyone ever tried to put model T era wood wheels on a model A? Are hub adapters available? I'm asking for a friend who has built a speedster and likes the look of wood wheels.

This is "the world's fastest Model A" (250-hp Cosworth engine).  Anyway, the wheels are aluminum painted to look like wood.  They're custom-made but something similar probably is available aftermarket - just have to wood-grain them.  That might be a better solution as I understand wood spokes require significant maintenance - dunno if they could be made to fit A hubs though.  I prefer the look of wire wheels on a sedan like this, but wood might be OK on a speedster.
