I think the "seller" is pulling our leg.
People use LOL all the the time for something that's mildly amusing and doesn't really make them laugh out loud. But that opening bid did it for me. LOL for real.
:D

Do not be fooled. That is a Model A wheel. Model T wire wheels don't cost that much.

Looks decent enough to me. Probably will require a tube to
keep air in the tire.
More people are doing it today than ever before !

Well, at least the seller did say it was for parts and not working! :lol:
And the seller was honest about that :D

Not sure Rich would let go of this tire but for another $125 it would be a good match. Probably the wrong size but would it really matter?

You guys may laugh, but I sell more of my junk "wall art" 'garage art" stuff at our local Petit Jean Arkansas swap meet or online than I do good stuff. But this guy is still an amature at selling wall art. I would steam clean the part to knock off all flaking rust, and then use a satin spar varnish thinned very thin to seal the remaining rust. Then I would mount that wheel on a couple pieces of barn wood with a black and white photo of a car that used that wheel in a barn wood picture frame mounted to the boards the wheel is mounted to. I can build that entire wall art item in about 1 to 2 hours. If Im doing more than one wall art display at a time I can cut that time in half or less. I would ask about 150.00 for the display and have no problems selling it during the swap meet. In fact this has given me an idea for another "wall art" treasure to make for the upcoming swap meet in June. I have a couple wheels just like that to use. I have kept all the old junk that everyone else would throw away for years. Im not kidding in the least. The wall art Junk displays are some of my best selling items..... The women and "young 20 something's" are my best customers.
