For everyone's information. See the screenshot of Hudson Wheels/Rims, from a "Motor Wheel Corporation" catalog -

@ 46HudsonPu, Thank you! Michel

Motor Wheel Corporation appears to have been a major supplier of rims/wheels for just about all car manufacturers.
And, what I found interesting - In doing background research to find some wheels/rims for my trucks, I saw that some of the rims I have are marked or stamped from the factory (as shown in the attached picture).
Part of that mark/number appears to correspond to the 'Motor Wheel Corporation' catalog entry - the "WHEEL X NUMBER", which appears to allow positive identification and 'tracking' of what is the correct or appropriate wheel for quite a few vehicles.
(the example shown below is a Chrysler 15" X 6" wheel, with 5-4 1/2spacing, 'special equipment' number for cars from 1957-1964).
At this point, I'm trying to figure out how to get the document scanned as a 'OCR' (optical character recognition) .pdf file, so that it can be 'searched' more easily...

sounds like a cool project, Rick. Please keep us posted of your progress.

Russell - Scanning to .pdf was easily (already) done, with a default networked scanner I have access to. Just finished-up the conversion to make it scanable this evening...
