Henry,

I have taken many stock regular and artillery wheels to a wheel shop and they
just cut off the old tube type wheel and weld on a 7" tubeless rim so you keep
the original hubcap clips and the original back space.  If your original
centers are OK then take them to a wheel shop.  I took mine to TruDesign wheel
in Denver and the guy is really proud of his work to the tune of $150 a wheel.
The 'Wheel Vintiques' wheels look OK but you have to buy their hubcaps.
