Dan,
No one makes reproduction wheels for the Model A since they are very hard to make and there are used wheels available.Used wheels can be found at $10 to $50 ecah depending on condition.Stay away from wheels that are cracked or are heavily pitted with rust.Slightly bent spokes are OK if there are not too many (they can be bent back) and the wheel is still round.The spokes should also have good welds.Lastly check out the lug nut holes to make sure they are not worn too much. Take along a lug nut to test the holes. No part of the lug nut should come through the back side of the hole.
Bob
