That wheel not going fit. The zx50 is a long case. Af16 is short case.

i think ( but dont know for sure) that primary gears will swap but secondaries will not.

I was thinking the same since it doesnt affect that gear the wheel goes on

Only polini and malossi sell gears that fit anymore that Ive found to be drop in, and theyre only primary not secondary. Mopedhospital near you also use to sell secondary gear sets but they no longer do. I would see if he can cut you another set or has one laying around. In all reality most machine shops with a CNC can make you a gear set, its just going to cost a little more than off the shelf.
For the AF16/18 primary sets, in order to use the af16/18 primary gear sets you have to use the af16 counter also due to the af16/18 shaft being splined and sc10 primary being smooth, you wouldnt be able to put the af16 countergear on the sc10 countershaft; and it will have to be machined down a couple mm to clear the case side. I would post my questions about the zx at kymcoforum.com they know more about the specifics on your bike than most on here, I dont even look on here anymore I just noticed a pm at my email when I returned from Colorado.

Yes Ive been told that the Malossi gears I carry for the af05 work in these motors.
