What are these strange wheels on this barnfind Model T speedster?

I found these pics of this Model T speedster on an auction site for a big liquidation sale. Check out the unique wheels. Looks like a home-brew mix of stock T hubs, later-model hoops, and some tube.

Anyone seen anything similar before?

 

Look homemade to me.

 

It's a Hoopty!!! anything goes

 

they are cool lookin!

 

Screw the wheels! What about the "A" coupe?

 

x2 forget the "t"

 

those wheels appear to be off some sort of farm impliment and that whole thing looks like it was built for farm use and i seems to be one of a kind.

 

When/Where is this auction?

 

T haters...X2 on the coupe

 

Neat, and lots of possibilities...
I would be concerned about them at speed though, until you know a bit more about them...
Cheers..........

 

I know I've seen those wheels somewhere, and it wasn't agricultural. I remember seeing them on an early Ford street rod, and later on a big '70s GM car. Sorry to be so vague, but I think those crude suckers were made by a real company.

 

hmm i know its not for this board but those MG's in the background caught my eye...

 

I'll hazzard a guess... tractor wheels? Gary

 

X2 on this. I have seen these before also.

 

Probably get me shot out of the o/t cannon, but those Datsuns are a sweet liitle car too

 

any more pictures?

Very old John Deer. I have seen them on farm impliments before as well.

I would be more interested in the coupe behind it if it were me.

 

Farm implement wheels.The wheels look a bit like these below, just remounted or an updated style to accept inflatable tires. Yes, I see these are only 5 spoke......

 

Here's a Toro conversion on an "A".

 

I wonder what the 36 Ford Cabriolet looks like............

 

You are really really stretching the truth by calling that thing a 'speedster'

 

Hey, are these the same ???
Cheers.........

 

Those are 12 spoke rims. 6 on the inside and 6 on the outside.

 

Ditto on; 'they look like old Invaders rims", but I'm gessin' they are not. I know they made round and square spokes. I have some on my Harley. Cool as shit though!!
