Iv got a pile of 28/29 21s and amongst them I found these 4 wheels with no rolled edges, I was told they where for a late 29s Sedan Delivery.
Can someone set me straight.
Thanks.

Interesting...Very interesting Elwood!

A Ford experimentAtion maybe?

I wonder, if all cleaned up, there are any wheel ID markings on them?

Early 28/29 wheel??? A guess!

Maybe transitional between the 21" and 19" testing the edge forming in service.

They are experimental wheels manufactured by Ford during 1928-29.

Experimental... how rare are they?

Apparently very rare. I have seen one or two at a well known parts shop near Atlanta. He did not want to sell them.

There's a 28 touring in our club with wheels like these. I can't remember the story, but the car was either assembled in S. America or S Africa. We're thinking the wheels were local manufacture rather than US made.
