WI	i want to replace my rims on my 1939 master 85 . i am wondering what years , the 15 &/or 16 inch - 6 lug rims will fit . also , would new or junkyard searching be the best route ? if new , what vendors could supply problem free rims ? i really like the artillary stye , but they might be awful pricey ! thanks for any help .

One catch here, some of them will only take the hubcaps made for the new wheel even though they look the same as the stock ones when installed. My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .
