I noticed a difference between my rims today as I was cleaning them to paint them before mounting tires so I can drive.

I thought the wheels were all matching stock wheels with Hubcap clips but I noticed one wheel only has 3 clips rather than 6 like the others. Not a problem if the holes for the rivets were drilled in the rim already but only every other space has a clip for the hubcap.

Also on one wheel there is 8 slots and 8 spokes. All 4 of the other wheels only have.5 slots and 5 spokes.

Any ideas if these oddball wheels may be car wheels that found their way onto my 1947 1/2 ton?

The one with 8 slots could be from a '38 model and the one with 3 clips is probably from '59-61.
