    OK, so I bought these wheels from a farmer (barn find) and he tells me these are Model A wheels. I got six of them from him but of the SIX I only have them matching in PAIRS.

    The sizes are throwing me off as are the bolt patterns. Can anyone shed some light on these for me. :confused:

    I have TWO that measure 4 1/4" x 19 1/4" 6 BOLT at 2 3/4" center to center.

    Then I have TWO measuring 4 1/2" x 18 1/2" 5 BOLT 3 1/4" center to center

    and then I have these 5" x 17 1/2" 5 BOLT 3 1/4" center to center

    and finally .. before I go to the trouble of prepping these .. after removing the tires and tubes on a few I found the metal as seen below ... can these be used / repaired / or trashed ?? Any and all opinions are GALDLY welcomed for this GREENhorn ~~ !!:D

    The 5 lug are Ford, and if they are 17" they are 33-34's. Not Model A.

    But if they are that rusty, I wouldn't trust them as hose reels, let alone for your car.

    Hope you didn't pay much.

    You did great on that deal. I am going o run 17's on the rear and 16's on the front. I have been paying 35 for a pair. The 6 lugs are chebby but the good thing is there are folks that are willing to trade you for them. I think the ones that are rusted out would make a great hose reel.
