Welcome. Your fronts look fine. Back left maybe not. The kind with the outer side ring are generally still serviced if in good rust free/bend free shape. Some guys have to search out big truck or ag shops, but doable.
The back wheel pictured looks like a widow maker Firestone RH-5°. The below pics will help you decide whether the rears are or not. When you go after replacements I'd suggest finding Accuride #28157 tubeless 22.5" x 6.75" wheels. Same stud piloted 6 x 8.75" pattern and still pretty plentiful in yards. If you need to keep the rear tires you've got the locking ring/side ring style like you have on the front can still be found too. Stu
