TT dish wheels question

Ford TT's never came from the factory with a steel dish wheel, they all were wooden spokes. If such a thing existed, it would be aftermarket.
 
Dennis, I have seen steel disk wheels on T cars, but I have yet to see some on a TT truck. There are at least three or more different styles out there plus Chevy disk wheels can be modified to fit a Model T car.
 
Where can I find good pictures of the TT spoke wheel with no tire mounted?
I specially want to see the outer rim that the tire fits on.
 
4 different rear wheels used on TT trucks:
1. solid rubber
2. Hayes 23" number 180
3. Kelsey 23" number 119
4. Firestone 20" type DT
Hope these drawings help.

Thank You Layden! Those pictures are exactly what I needed.
I have complete centers for my 26 but need the outer rims shown as 24-27
I see they call them 30X5 but isnt that 6.00X20 now?
 
To get rim size on the old ford tire sizes, you multiply 2 times the tire height (5") and subtract it from the overall height which in this case is 30", resulting in a 20 inch rim.
So a 6.00X20 is very close to the same size and will fit.
 
What is the best forum for TT information?
I have almost all of a 26 but will need lots of information. It has a Ruckstell two speed
 
Thanks all, I have a set of disc wheels for the rear of a TT. My standard 20" rim seems to fit but something doesn't look right. Guess I'll have to post a picture to explain. I'll need a few days. Thanks again, Dennis 615 497 0823
