What is the size?

Standard was 12-16.5.

I am not asking what size wheel, but whats the OEM wheel as far as design

odds that comes down to what the dealer who originally ordered the machine asked for/what tier wheel package , and or what the customer who may have ordered it wanted!

the main reason you have miss matched wheels now, is , odds are over the yrs, someone replaced tires and wheels, , due to being worn and or wheels being rusty, or, someone used some sort of fix a flat type sealant and found out, no tire shops want to deal with wheels that have that in them, and as such, just replaced the wheels!/tires~!)

as for if they got wheels with stem protection, most likely came down to, price, what the shop had or sells most of(to keep prices down)
or, , pending what type of work machine is used for, ,some may what them, , or not! , But IMO< odds are it just comes down to price at time of buying tires!


I would also guess that at some point in this machines life, t someone bought a a set, or maybe just two tire wheels with them, and then, someone again, as times passed and need for tires again, , maybe replaced ONLY two tires/wheels at some other point
thus, you now have wheels that are not all alike

its honestly not a big deal, and I seen many many machines like this
unless your working in a lot of debris that causes stems to get damaged, there really isn;t any advantage to having stem protectors,
if anything, I have found some of them are a lot harder to get a air chuck onto them, making it harder to be able to fill tires with air when needed!

SO< I doubt anyone can really tell you for 100% certainty what wheels your machine had when new, minus tire size!
if you really feel a need to have all matching wheels, I am sure BOBCAT will sell you a matching set and claim there OEM matching

they MIGHT also be able to pull your VIN and see what it was ordered with too!

Never mind guys…. The wheel on the left is the oem, the one on the right is not
