I had a heck of a time finding wheels for my 1948. I had taken my wheels with tires on them to Les Schwabs in Washington because I couldn't find anyone in my area that would work on them. They were the split rim. They hammered on them and finally got one apart, but they were too rusty to use. I ended up getting one piece rims made by Stockton Wheel in California and putting on radials. The tire height turned out to be pretty darn close to the originals.
