Default Wheels to fit original hub caps?

Hello everyone, new member here. I take care of my 88 year old father in-laws 1963 GMC for him. He bought it new in '63 and it's in the best original condition I have ever seen on an old truck.

In the '70's he bought some 16.5" slot mags for it. They look good on it, but we would like to put the original style wheels back on. He has all the original hub caps in perfect shape. He also has the original split rims in not too bad of shape.

There isn't many good tire choices for the 16.5 slot mags, and the split rims are illegal in Washington State. Can I buy some original looking steel wheels in a more available rim size that the original hub caps will mount to?
