I am certain that the wheels are the closed centre type. The spoking patern at the hub is different from later wheels, also I have seen closed centre wheels appear like this in other early photographs where the wheel has been dirty and quickly rubbed over before the photo was taken, leaving the road dirt around the spoke ends and giving the impression of the open centre.
I am also fairly sure that I've seen another photo of this car somewhere in the Grey mags or Wyatt's Pictorial perhaps. I will have a look.

This type of adveritising body must have been popular in the '20's, wasn't there a bath and water heater "Ewarts Geysers" and a radio battery van?
