What wheels will mount on model A hubs ? other than the Model A wheels.
Need something just to push around while working on frame and painting.

Ford pickup trucks have the same bolt pattern. Not sure if they still do but they did back in the 80ts

If you use Ford wheels later than '35 you need to be aware of something. The Model A had a brake drum that was at two levels. If you tighten the lug nuts too much you risk cracking/bending the rims and making them useless for the next person. See: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/t.../#post-8330045
Post '35 wheels are good for pushing around the garage but don't over tighten or be tempted to run them on the street.
