Sorry for the delay. Our company is testing a new Internet filtering program and it filtered out access to the Suede's site. I went back to the storage unit last night. Here's the deal. I bought a '40 Ford pickup a few years ago. It had white spoke "wagon wheels" on it and the four, what I figure are original, rims were sitting in the bed. I kept the rims when I sold the truck. I put them away and never looked at them again until we moved this spring. Here is what the tape measure says: Laying the tape across the face of the wheel to get the diameter, it reads 17 1/2 inches from the outside edge of the bead to the other side. Sideways, laying the tape across the wheel from the outside of the bead to the outside of the bead it reads 5 1/4 inches. The bolt pattern is 5 on 5 1/2. I found dates on three of the four wheels, the fourth one may have the date stamped under some dirt. The three I could read were apparently manufactured in '40, '41 and '42 if, in fact, I am actually reading manufacturing dates. That's what I know. The rims are rusty and would need a clean-up. If anyone is still interested in the rims, call me at work 701-356-2859 or at home in the evenings 701-237-5630 or email me at work Carter.sandvik@swansonshealth.com. I am not sure if I will continue to be able to get to the Suede's site when the filter goes on full time. I don't have a computer at home so I have to go to one of my kids' homes to use theirs.
