NEED TO IDENTIFY 16" WHEELS

[dibarlaw]

When I bought my 1937-41 back in1987 the wheels were incorrect and I bought 4, 37 wheels locally. Fast forward 25 years. They were sandblasted and repainted Hampton Gray and striped before I put them on. Looks Great! Of course I had a flat on the way from our MASON-DIXON car show on Saturday and pulling out one of the tires and wheel I had as a spare got me wondering what the wheels were originally for??

The 1937 16" wheel has a smaller center depression and 5 clips. The ones that came with the car were 4, large center depression with 3 clips and 2 with the same center but with 5 clips. All the 1940-1949 type of hub caps fit these. Since I don't have a 1937 wheel for a spare I was just going to re do one of the 5 clip wheels to match. Thought these may be for a 1940 and up... Once I know what they are for I can send them along to some one in need.
