Wanted: Go Kart wheels.
« on: July 21, 2010, 11:05:46 am »
I'm looking for a set of alloy go kart wheels and tyres for a project I'm working on for CD8. The wheels don't have to be the latest spec and the tyres only need to hold air. I'd also like a set of hubs to suit the bolt pattern if that's possible. Because this is a "silly little project" I don't want to spend a shitload of money so as cheap as possible would be good. Thanks ;D.

i dont think they are allowed to use the older split rims any more so you should find them cheap enough.  ian willy will have old race tyres you just need to pay the postage.

Or he might be putting  a ramp in and building a hybrid motorized wheel chair in case the ankle goes pear shaped. ;D

What about the pneumatic tyres and wheels on those furniture trolleys that Super Cheap have on special every now and again?
