Help ID old wheels

Our soccer club's old concession stand was built on this frame. Wheels were attached so we could move it in the event of the river flooding.

What make of wheels are these? Are they of any value before we scrap them?

Looks like the 5 spoke utility hub type wheel found on older mobile home trailers. Nothing special in my book.

Yup, tubeless 14.5” trailer wheels aren’t anything special imho. Scrap value. Stu

Thanks, Stu. I wanted to be sure. In 2020 I scrapped a homemade 2 wheel cart someone donated to the club that we didn't use.

It had 30's era Chevy axle with 3 spoked wheels, it had a spare. Two of them had Chevy hubcaps.

Sold the wheels for good money and someone bought the axle for $100.

the only thing that would make those rims worth anything is the fact that they are becoming rare because most trailer manufacturers have stopped using them.
but there are so many in equipment and older scrap yards that they really are not worth much unless you can not find them anywhere else.
