"In 1931, the steel spoke wheels had a bigger bolt pattern and required unique wheel hubs. White wall tires were not standard and I don't know if they could be factory ordered. But dealers could have put them on for customers. I have seen pictures of a few 1931 AA's with the wire wheels and hub caps (yes, Ford standard on a few of the closed body types)."

FYI and For What It's Worth: These are the same wire wheels used on 1929-1930 Lincoln Model L. Different hubcap, but same wheel. I guess Ford thought he could dress up some of the fancier, late AAs but adding a touch of Lincoln. Or he had a lot of leftover Model L Lincoln wheels laying around....
