I have a 1952 Truck brochure and the cover page shows a 3100 with black wheels. Other pages show both 3100's and panels with body color wheels and even some with other than body color wheels, for instance a blue panel with red wheels. Like Dan mentioned the bigger trucks are generally shown with black wheels. I believe I got that brochure from the GM Heritage site, but I don't see it there now. If you'd like a copy, let me know. [on edit] It's the same brochure that Dan has in his post.
So it seems like wheels on a 3100 could be either black or body color. I went with black wheels on my 3100 as it was originally a fleet (base model) truck.
