well if u want tractor rims you could use farmall cub fronts.. they have 5 bolt that would fit c's/ca's . i used those rims but cut the centers out and welded in the centers of front rims from a parts tractor.. paint them orange and nobody would know.. originals are 52lbs apeice and the ones i switched to are 18lbs ;-) ------------- if farming was easy everybody would be doing it |

One way to get options for wheel size and width for many tractors is to remove the centers of your front wheels, go to a junkyard and match them up to the "donut spare" of your choice that matches your center dimension, remove the center from the donut spare, weld in your WD45 center, and you're good to go. You can then get tires to match the new rim size. This give a lot of size options, and the rim will look original and be in excellent condition. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |
