Bought this at an auction last spring, finally got around to taking some pictures of it. It is 30 x 3 1/2 I have no idea if it is T or not, I'm not the wire wheel expert but somebody must know what it is.

I will suggest "Simplex" brand of wire wheels. seems I had a set of these years ago and they were more than unusual the way they fit on the hubs.

just sayin'

Early Pasco for Model T Ford, these were before the type that have an adaptor ( with right and left hand threads for threaded ring and hubcap )that goes on wood wheel hubs.
There are at least 2 variants of these with hubcaps about 1" outside diameter difference.

Not sure what it is, but I don't believe this is a Simplex, Stan. I have a set on my Speedster, and these don't appear to match, though I can't say for sure if Simplex made different models.

Here's a few shots of my Simplex wheels:
