  A 1934 Roadster is for sale and it has chromed wheels. How do I determine their originality ; pictures ? Thank you.

  It's simple; those in your photo have adjustable spokes. The hyper-rare chrome-plated wheels offered briefly by Ford in 1934 were the same as their painted wheels in their construction, i.e. with welded, non-adjustable spokes.

  Not a original Ford accessory, but Pretty. The optional 17" accessory wheel was a bent spoke Kelsey Hayes painted wheel.

  With respect, a straight spoke 17" chrome-plated wheel was a Ford-authorized/released accessory offered late in the '34 model year.

  Adjustable spokes and chrome wheels for a 1934 Ford is something I never heard of. What was your source for that information? I'm ready t learn something new, can you help?
