rick60 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 These wheels were removed from a 31 model A recently. They were on the car since the 1950s. He believed they were form a 1932 Ford. Not sure of the actual application. There is a set of five. They are in nice condition. They are not rusty, nice patina of old paint. There are a few rim dents. They are 17 inches in diameter with five lug nut holes. The tires date from WWII. The owner stated that there are a few WWII synthetic tires. Owner was wondering what price to ask when selling these wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick60 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I for got to mention that there are five hubcaps that are scripted V-8. All of the caps are dented and scratched. Nice patina for the old school hot rod guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 A lot of model As were kept on the road in the 50s with 16 and 17" wheels. Some people say they ride better. When these cars get restored the correct wheels are put back and these V8 wheels are shopped around the flea markets but I think there are more wheels available than cars looking for them. I see them advertised for $50 or more apiece,you can only try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
