I just started disassembly tonite and right off the bat I see among other things I need some budd wheels. These are the 5 hole type.what do I have to know to get the right ones and any suggestions as to where I might find some is appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony G.

You say 5 hole style.
All of the AA's had 5 holes for mounting.
The 29 should have single rear wheels and have the wheels with 6 holes (large openings) in the wheel. The 30/31's had dual rears and 5 holes.

Tony,
If you really have a '29 AA, then you need the six spoke disk wheels (see attached picture). I have some of these to sell.

The term "Budd Wheels" usually refer to the '30 through '33 wheels which are five spoke.

The question is, what year AA do you actually have. The 82-A closed cab was used until about May/June of 1930. Many AA'ers do not know that and believe that they have a '29 AA when it is actually a '30 AA.

Thanks Richard,
I should have been clearer. Ofcourse 5 lug, with 5 large holes. It has dual rears.It's titled and engine nos. state 1929 AA1155712.Until I can verify with frame nos. I have to go on that.

I just spoke to a man in Dos Palos, CA who advertised some Model AA rims. I called and found they were the 6 spoke disc wheels. He has 3 for $40.00 each but wants the tires. He also has 2 other disc wheels that have the same 6 spoke holes but the look a little different so I don't know if they are AA wheels. His number is 209-704-4796. Hope this helps.
