Cleveland Wheel Question.

[LukeS]

This summer my dad and I made the 4000 plus mile trip from Wisconsin to California (in four days!) to pick up a Bearhawk project. In addition to the items that I knew I was purchasing, were countless bonus items (like the struts and fittings) that came with the project. These included a set of Cleveland (I assume based on three characteristic recesses in the outer rim area) that I'm trying to research. They are six inch diameter rims with a 5 inch bead width, and 1.5 inch bearings. They are very light, so I'm assuming they are made from a magnesium alloy. They don't have brakes, which I obviously need, so I'm trying to figure out what model they are to determine if they are appropriate for the Bearhawk, how much the brakes will cost, and if they are worth keeping. Does anybody know how to identify these wheels? The only numbers I have found were four digit numbers that were different from one wheel to the next (casting numbers perhaps?). The wheels look the same, and based on similar levels of surface corrosion appear to be off the same aircraft. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
