I thought a while back i read that the stock 20 inch wheels were hard to find, but i cant remember if that was for the c-30's or c-50's. Also im not trying to sell here, but im thinking about parting this c-50 and just curious if these would be worth anything

The center photo of the 5 lug wheel is the notorious " split rim wheel " not the better design "lock ring wheel". The split rim is 2 pieces and connected in the middle and has no longer been manufactured since the mid 70's.Thats the one that should be junked. "lock ring wheels" are still used today on some larger construction type vehicles and heavy duty truck tire dealers still work on them.
