It’s been years since I have been to Hershey is it worth going there to find a set of stock 41 rims or just poke on line??
 
Hershey is worth going to even if you don't find anything to buy (which for me was impossible for the 20 times I went). I believe 40 and 41 rims are the same except for the date stamped into them. The date is not visible with the hubcap on. Date would be like KH 41 which I have seen. Shipping costs should make the difference if you can take them home yourself.
 
Wheels are heavy. Need an 18" box to ship a 16" wheel, hard to find and anything over 17" is considered oversize to the usps. Point is, it would be very expensive to ship 4 or 5 wheels. I just shipped 2 wide 5 pickup wheels, a little heavier, but it was around 80 bucks each
 
Hershey is a fun experience. Finding what you are looking for is a bonus. Finding other things that you didn't even know you needed is more fun. It's worth the trip just to experience the show.
 
Note: your wheel stud length ! 40/41 wheels use 'innie' lug holes to fit short lug studs. Postwar wheels have 'outie' lug nut holes for longer wheels studs. My '40 with the WRONG wheels used only HALF the lug nut threads !! Inspect your wheel /nuts fit. Newc
 
UPS used to ship wheels with only a toe tag. No box needed. They picked up 2 sets here at my home, as the buyer arranged shipping.


Yes UPS is that good!
 
also a set of rims only for 200.


Hershey will cost you much more then that, hotels, time and tolls.
 
Definitely go to Hershey. No doubt you'll find the wheels and a lot of other thing you did know you needed until you get there. I've been going for 43 years.
