Mystery wheels
I just got 4 of these today I’m pretty nice shape. They are aftermarket wires, but I don’t know what they are. No hubs came with them but it’s a three pin drive. I might move these on as I have a complete set of Dayton’s (5 wheels and all the hubs). But I need to know what they are.

You and this guy https://mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26968 should talk. Looks like he has a pair, too.

Re: Mystery wheels
Ah....With the drive pin dome covers, I believe they are "3-pin Hayes". I have several with the hubs and hubcaps, showing the Hayes I.D. / Tim

Re: Mystery wheels
Good eye Tim, Ash wheels were bolt on type, and I’m not aware of any other 3 pin drive knock off type wheels other than Hayes
Pretty sure the Ash were all 21” lock ring too...

Re: Mystery wheels
Well, now we know what they are, what are they worth? How hard is it to find hubs for them? As I said, I have a full set of Dayton’s but they are in good shape. Wondering if I should save them or move them.

Re: Mystery wheels
I have a pair of 3 pin drive front hubs with caps that were damaged (not by me) getting them off at some time, 1 nice original cap with ford plate and a full set o 5 reproduction caps that I would let go reasonable

I can't find anything about "ASH" wheels, is ASH an abbreviation for a company?Kevin Pharis wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 12:53 amGood eye Tim, Ash wheels were bolt on type, and I’m not aware of any other 3 pin drive knock off type wheels other than Hayes

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Mystery wheels
Ash wire wheels were bolt on accessory for model T Fords, possibly other brands too but all the hubs I have come across are T specific. All seem to be fitted with 21” lock ring rims also.
The Ash hubs and wheel centers are pretty wimpy, and so I converted this set to Buffalo centers for my dads car. They are 2 plane lacing (similar to McLaren lacing pattern), but are plenty strong for a T. Sorry, don’t have any pics of the Ash wheels before the center swap...
