Farmer,
   There are at least 2 different styles of DC front wheel. Early ones had a
cast center "hub" and a stamped outer rim that's the same rim as the D's
(this is the style I'm still looking for). Later ones had a cast center and
outer ring and bolted together with 3 lugs and I think are the heavier
design. If you have the early style with the stamped parts I have some
interest but I have a set of the later cast ones that I'm not sure what to
do with.

I wonder... they might be good if I put a piece of cable on them and make
them into a wrecking ball. Case certainly knew how to pour metal.
