Wheel Rebuilder Recommendation

Post by dr1960 » Thu Aug 12, 2021 11:32 pm

I have a rear wheel and front wheel on my 1915 Model T Roadster that "wobble". Spokes appear to be warped, not loose. Who do you recommend to have them checked out and re-spoked? Original wooden spoke wheels.

Thanks

There are several good wheelwrights. Noah Stutzman made the new wheels for my 1915, and they are excellent.

Dave is very reasonable, but doesnt currently make wood fellow wheels. He can rebuild/tighten if the wood is sound, but loose.

Johnson’s wood wheels in Ardmore, Oklahoma did the wheels for my 24 Coupe and 21 Touring. Outstanding work in wheel building and shipping container for safe shipping.

Yes but Johnson’s wood wheels in Ardmore hasn’t answered their message machine in years. They respoked the wheels on my ‘10 Maxwell about 25 years ago and did a great job. PA, OH and CA 😞 I wish we had a wheelwright in the South.

Thanks all for the information. Johnson's did my 1908 Cadillac Wheels about 35 years ago, but i did not know if they were even around anymore. If they are, that would be close. I seem to recall having quite a lead time on getting them done, but they were fantastic when finished.

Johnson's website is still up, but I'm not sure he is. I never got an answer the last time I tried to contact him. That's why he's not on my list. I haven't seen him at Chickasha for several years.
