Correct Rims on '51 Chevrolet??

Can anybody please tell me if the rims on this truck are correct to the year 1951 for the Chevrolet 3100 Pickup truck? Is there a resource for determining the factory rims? Thanks!

16" were standard, 15" were optional.

They look right from what can be seen... I've got six lug 16's from that vintage on my 68...

BTW... beauty truck!

Thanks. They're actually 17", so i would guess that means they're not factory.

Are you measuring across the outside of the rim?? If so the "size" is a little less than that measured at the tire bead. You might have 16" size wheels which would measure around 17 actual.
