I'm being told that the front wheel setup on this page is a good place to start.
10x4x6 and higher quality. Phil and I are obviously using the honda mower wheels, but if anyone is daring enough, you can order those and it would be cheaper for what is supposedly a better wheel.

Alright so i'm sitting outside on my break and I see this...



And all I could see were parts!

We toss about three of these special wheelchairs a month, that means unlimited supply of parts! The wheels measure 8.625" from lip to lip, coincidentally that's the OD of 8" PVC. The inside seat of the wheel is 7.625". The ID of 8" PVC is 7.961, so I figure make up the .336" with electrical tape.
My idea is, cut off one side off two of these wheels and bam, instant 2 peice wheels for a drift trike!

Here's what I got so far.



Cut off one side with a jig saw. These wheels should work mint, they have a 5/8" axle bearing pressed into them, and they look sick.

And if my explaination wasn't good enough, this is what I mean.



I learned how to draft from the school of dickerman, but you get the idea.

Feedback?
