I have two sets, one earlier set has larger flanges on the rear 40H, smaller flange on the front 32H. The later Airlite continental, with Q/R has the same size flanges front and rear, if my memory serves me correctly
The description does make reference (incorrectly) to Stainless in the rim condition and yes, you are quite correct, ythey are the chromed steel version.
Thanks for that, had already seen the listing. Looks as if they may be the Stainless version rims, but in poor shape. Probably a good buy on the basis of the hubs alone.

Wanted pair of Constrictor Asp, 27" x 11/4" rims or complete wheels, 32/40 spoke, rear for gears.
Nice condition essential and would consider other early 1950,s period rims or wheels, or w.h.y.

It just so happens that I have a pair here, of the older, different size flange type.
Rear flange diameter is 3.5", front flange is 3"
Hope this helps
