These eBay wheels might actually be a nifty purchase. The tires shown on them in the photos look very modern. Doubtful you could get original-looking tires. 1924 Superior "F" Touring Car

It looked great. I can remember my Dad talking about a friend oh his had a set on a Model A back in the early 30s. He used to show off by running over the curb to park his car. Just rolled right over the curb. See you down the back roads. See you Touring the Back Roads Joined VCCA June 1, 1961
