Are you talking about wheel weights?
A little nomenclature. On most tractors, the rim is just that, a rim to hold the tire. Most folks wouldn't think of bolting anything to it but, rather, bolting or clamping a rim TO a wheel, which is the section that fills the center. The wheel can be made of pressed steel or cast iron, and is attached to the axle, either by clamping to the axle or bolting to a hub at the end of the axle.
To help with traction for heavy pulling, weights were available to bolt to the wheels. Sometimes they were shaped to fit a particular wheel, but there were cases where wheels were designed so that the same style weight could be used on several different tractors. On Farmall Cs, Hs and Ms, for example, the rear wheel weights were roughly 30" in diameter and maybe 1-1/2" thick, and weighed about 150# each. On some other tractors the weights are made as half circles or wedges, but ultimately are bolted to the wheel to make a full circle. All done for the added weight.
