alloy wheel possibility???

I wonder if wheels from a kids mountain bike would fit?  They are 24" (507mm), compared to the 550A having 490mm, so only 8.5mm greater radius.

I know most such bikes are on the cheap and nasty end of the scale, but it might be something to think about. Kenda make a slick high pressure tyre in this size (TRM48  $25.95)

I prefer old bikes in original condition, but if I come across another shocker it could be a prospect for experimental wheel transplants.

Another one in France, classified ads on ebay, notice single speed, no front rack, looks like the rear tyre has been replaced, 95 euros:
