I have recently come in to possession of a set of riveted rims for a B, I think that makes it a 1938. Are these rarer or more collectible , or more valuable? Vaqlue ??

Front 15 inch B wheels with the riveted hub were used from 1938 B-9019 to 1939 B-26524. Most of 38Bs and much of the early 39Bs production had the wheel and hub riveted together. After B-26524 the automotive 5 hole wheels became the standard for all Bs and the Cs

What is a good useable set of 38/39 riveted wheels worth?
I would say a good set of riveted 38/39 front wheel assemblies should be worth at least the cost of what a pair of good used standard hubs by themselves plus what you would pay for two NEW standard 5 hole wheels.
Really, the only folks that would be interested in the early B riveted wheels would be those "RESTORING" a early B using ORIGINAL VINTAGE PARTS and theirs were in un-restorable condition.
If just the outer rim was bent or badly rusted it can be replaced quite easy with a new blank 15 inch rim of the same width and appear to be all original.

I have riveted front rims on my B (s/n B26240) and think they look great on it. As far as price I completely agree with Ken. They are only worth something if a person is working on one of these B's that fit the S/N slot that applies .
