NorthCoast3800, I couldn't help but notice the wheels on your truck in your recent "Workbox" thread. I've about given up looking for one piece replacements for my 1948 3800. Most are either too wide, too much off-set or have no hubcap options. That said, most of them are aftermarket trailer wheels.
Yours look nice, especially with the trim rings. Could you head me in the right direction and add any problems you encountered?

Pick1, you might want to contact Wheelsmith. They will custom build wheels to your specifications including offset, backspace, width, diameter, etc.
I had them make smoothies for me but they have other styles such as artillery "Budd" style wheels. They have reproduction hubcaps for their smoothies but will weld clips to them for you if you want to use your original caps. They also have beauty rings.

I got these from our local tire shop, I unfortunately didn't save the receipt but I'm sure I could ask them what the part # was. That said if Wheelsmith can sort you out, perfect! I'm way up by the Alaska Panhandle so my local selections aren't all that plentiful. The local shop showed me what they had in the right backspace and width and I liked those a lot - it was actually the only option their supplier had for steel wheels in that size and offset, so good thing I liked em!
