Firestone "Clincher" Wheels - NOS

500 $

League City, TX

I keep digging thru my stash and continue to find old parts ....

Here is an unused , never been unpacked or mounted , set of Firestone "Clincher" wheels , in outstanding original condition. 
I suspect these were intended for Model T's , but they have not yet even been drilled and bored for the metal hubs and bearings.

Here's a rundown of the specifics:

19 1/2" Outside Dia x 2 3/4" wide 
12 Spokes 
6 "Firestone" Cleats 
Date Stamped "FSP Co. 5 / 6 / 1924 28x4

These will be sold as a set only - I will not break up the set or open the original packing.

Although new old stock and the wood spokes are virtually mint , I can not verify roadworthiness of these wheels.

Please review the photos to determine your application requirements.

Questions or request for additional photos are welcome.

$500 plus shipping.

Mark,

Yes they are certainly Firestone brand but not clinchers. The rims for these take straight side ( Dunlop) tires as we use today.

Pictures are from rim catalog and show these as type 24A4. The industry was changing over in sizing designations at that time, thus the discrepancy with 28x4 stamped on the rim.
