Anyone ever use go kart wheels for their homebuilt?


go kart wheels used to be specified for 4.00x4 wheels and originally
were perfectly adequate. however go karting changed from the old
"square" profile tyres to widened lowered racing wheels that now look
like scaled down formula 1 tyres. these are no longer really what you
want.

you can get 4.00x4 tyres and hubs from Jabiru in bundaberg.
(the tyres are beautiful. they're by trelleborg of sweden)
