1937 front rims

Last week, I was successful in finding a pair of front cast hubs for my 1937 ZTU restoration project. A couple months ago they were completely under water due to the high water here in central California. They will work out fine but the steel rims around the perimeter are long since rusted out. Where would I find a set of these steel rims to go on my cast hubs?
 
I need a set of front rims for my 1938 ZTU, Would farmall A open center rims work, Or could I remove the center out of some
old Moline rims.
 
When I needed one for my JTU I used a 6 lug Chevrolet truck wheel from the 'fifties. It was almost exact profile and I only had to cut the rivets out, knock out the center and weld up the holes.

You can probably use blank rims from Miller tire also.
 
I got the steel rims off of the cast centers today. Studs came out with the nuts. A couple of them were fighters but the rest came out pretty easy. The cast centers are JT658A and the cone shaped caps are JT651 with a grease sert right in the middle. The steel rims are 16" X 4 1/2" and they look like a pretty normal profile. I am sure I can find replacements.
