From what I've seen the early TOC catalogs mention 28" wood wheels with steel optional. Some years specify natural wood. A lot of the original examples I've seen have the same Iver paint scheme as mine. I know in 1916 wood was standard and steel or steel lined were optional equipment. Its funny as detailed as the Iver catalogs were there wasn't much discussion on paint colors for wheels which leads me to believe that scheme was the standard. If they had options I guess they would be listed.
Metal clad and steel became prevalent and then they started doing a faux yellow wood with pinstripes. I have seen them called wood but if you look closely at the wheels on my late 30's twin loop you can see rust and the profile is obviously steel. Then mens version has a different profile and double pinstripes.
