How loose are they diameter wise I assume? Can you post a picture?

beetbocks said:i don't want to hijack your thread but i have redesigned the alloy 3 piece wheels to be more simple and i can get them for about £25 each - they will fit standard skate bearings and fit a standard skate truck..
Skike now sell the 5" tyre pretty cheap. http://www.skike.com/shop.php?l=en&c=UK&page=5&cat=1&sub=0&go=5.
I have some on order so ill let you all know the quality of them.. I do find the 5" to be better all round tyre than the 6"..
Do you think these numbers add up? would you pay that for the alloys?
I must add ,out of all my build the 5" tyre commuter is by far the most versatile of them all.. the ride is just super sweet and smooth..

When the throttle is off the skate can roll over?
Thanks

I bought several and the first curb I hit at like 5mph it shattered the rim, exposing the innertube which burst out and popped and ground my 2 wheel scooter to a halt, luckily I was going slow and it just tipped the front end into the ground and I didn't get hurt. Yes, they're inexpensive wheels and readily available but I highly recommend against it out of my own and many others personal experience...
Will try to post a pic shortly of the cracked rims...

psychotiller said:I working on it. Unfortunately every quote I've been getting back from suppliers has been almost double what I paid last time....I cant afford to personally fund 8000 pieces just to save a few interested friends 75bucks. And a kickstarter campaign for 6" wheels seems goofy to me. I can get a few sets made right now, but the cost (and I mean cost) is $275. (tires/tubes, hardware, pulley and hubs)
They're center set which will most likely work a lot better on your scooter. Also, the hubs are 36mm wide and will accommodate 1.3" to 2" tires. Solid and nice.
Let me know and I'll set it up.

I thought I would have to do that but I hoped there was another solution, thanks for your reply anyways, now I know that I do not need to waste time looking for a plug n play solution.

Those are decent looking hubs/wheels
Do you have a link to where to purchase them, Tamatoa?
Thx!

Rather than sand those wheels, maybe you could take them to a machine shop and just have them milled down a little bit.
