That rib thing runs up to the lug nut hole instead of between them. i cannot find a decent picture of a 1927 wheel that might have been different.

Apparently, there were some 21" s produced without the bead edge. They had the rim edge same as 1930'31 19"'s.
A couple of FBers have posted pics of them . If you have a set, I would use them, as a talking point. The so called AR wheel had a bead edge rim like all 21's, but the hub area was slightly different shaped to fit the early type drums, the rears without the separate brake band.

I recently toured Mike's Affordable Model A parts in Georgia. Mike has one of these wheels mounted on the wall by his front door. He knows some of the history behind it.

I am enclosing a picture of a 26/27 wheel for comparison. I too have encountered a couple of 21's like you show and I have always suspected they were someone's aftermarket wheel. Maybe not.??. ![]() |

I saw several of these 21" wheels without the bead edge in Brazil. Has anyone from Argentina seen them there too?

These wheels actually belong to a old friend of mine, and he did import 4 model A,s from Argentina some years ago, now I'm thinking this is where these wheels came from.

I've seen wheels like that from Argentina !! Usually the spokes are Oxy -Acetelyne welded at the rim Check the spokes before you use them !!!!!!

very interesting...I saw a set of Western Auto rims about ten or fifteen years ago but cannot remember if they had such a configuration.

if those wheels are manufactured in Argentina, for replacement, the company is PROTO, were built between the years 40 and 70
