[AT] Case DH front rims

[Ralph Goff]

My DC4 (factory wide front) came with 7.50x16 front tires on heavy cast 
wheels. All cast, no steel rim, as can be seen in this picture.

They were a real man killer to lift into the back of a truck. I think there 
were a few options but would have to check the manual to see them listed.
