One of these lovely wire wheels is bent. And bent bad!! I need an extra wire wheel (17 inch) any one have one they can let go?

Also, anyone have a good source to make a bad wheel straight?

    I have a set of 5 , 5-lug 17 Essex, the non adjustable spoke type. Is that what you need?

    No, mine are the 4 lug hole pattern in the 17's. I thought the 5 hole were for the Hudson's? But I do not really know....

    Has anybody ever done a definitive article on the various wire wheels optionally available on the prewar HET vehicles?

    Me understanding is that the "big Essex"', 32 and older Pre-Terraplane used the 5 lug hubs and larger axles etc. The 4 lug pattern showed up with the small cars in 32 and continued on. The 4 lug also have adjustable spokes.

    Only the 16" wires used on 33's and some 34 and 35's had the adjustable spokes. The
    17" used on"Terraplanes were welded spoke.This confusion brought on by those who continue to refer to the 33T'S as Essex's
