Karejorgen Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi I got a woodspoke wheel with buick on the clamps. 59,7 cm in dia on the front edge. I am wondering what year buick it would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Can you please provide width (thickness) of the rim ? It should be either 6.73cm or 7.82cm depending on which series it fits. The back side should measure 60.96cm which equates to a 24" rim. Wheel sizes were listed by the outside diameter of the tire when it changed to rim diameter in 1926. The formula to convert tire diameter to rim diameter is to subtract (2 x tire width) from tire diameter. (If my understanding of this is correct !) without knowing rim width, possible identification could be 1923 model 44-45 wheel : 32 - (2 x 4) = 24 1923 model 47-50 wheel : 33 - (2 x 4.5) = 24 1924 model 41-45 wheel : 32 - (2 x 4) = 24 Edited January 14, 2022 by Oregon Desert model 45 edit (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karejorgen Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 You are correct on the dia for the back side. The width is 6.7cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Desert model 45 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That narrows it down to 1923 model 44-45 and 1924 model 41-45. The center bore diameter for a front wheel should be about 11cm, and will be 1 or 2 cm larger for rear wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Looks like a front wheel. 40 series rears would only have 6 holes ... i think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that’s my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_Heil Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The wood looks shot but the steel felloe has value and can be re-spoked if not otherwise damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karejorgen Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 1924 it is then👍😊 The wood is in good shape, no rot and not loose in the steel. Just paint flaking/scrapes that make it look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
