If that step on the back face is in the region of 3/16", they are probably aftermarket replacements for model A thru 35.

If my memory is correct that looks like a Goodyear Air wheel. I had one for a 6 lug Chevy I sold at the LA roadster show a few years ago.

Clean one up and look for any stampings - often on the inside.
Does the hubcap hole match early Ford? |

What's strange is I don't see any welding on the wheels in the pictures. Are these wheels riveted together? Show us a side view...

Hi all; I went and checked out a clean wheel, no markings found... appears to be a continuous electric rolling weld- like a rolling spot welder. Very hard to even see. I have 7 and will probably sell them next yr. thanks Newc

In the 1930's and 1940's and even a bit later the common wheels used for driving Model A's and early V8's on the ocean beaches of Cape Cod was the General Jumbo 9.00 x 13 wheel & tire combo. I have sold my wheels but I think I still have a new 9.00 x 13 inner tube in its original cardboard box. I hope it is still OK and it has not been exposed to daylight.

Yep Newc, those are Goodyear Airwheels. Your ad on the HAMB is probably overpriced with no hubcaps. The caps will cost you more than the wheels.
