Questions about Manco frames

[alxx01]

Just picked up a Manco frame and have some questions about wheels. What size should I run for wheels front and back? What size axles does the frame take? It seems like 12mm but I can’t tell. Thank you!

Streaker, my streaker has 4 inche rims but I don't remember the tire size but you have to use the correct size because bigger wheels will hit the scrub brake. It probably has 1/2 inch axel also.

Or maybe 5 inch now that I think about it. I'll have to check.

i just looked up streaker manco and saw some old listings and i’m pretty sure it is a 5 inch wheel

That looks like a Streaker with a bent fork.

You can buy bolts, just need to figure out what length.
