Get a 12-16" straightedge. Remove the hubcaps and place the 
straightedge against the circular rim that sticks out just inside 
where the hub cap snaps on. Now slide the straightedge outwards until 
one end strikes the outer edge of the rim. 

You have the right rims if the straightedge just misses clearing the 
outer rim edge (where the wheel weights nestle) by about 1/8" or 
about 3mm.
