[Kartbuilding] wheels for go-kart?

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Tony,

I'm sure you can buy them somewhere. If you are going buying/sourcing 
them, make sure the inside diameter is large enough to accomodate the 
axles.

If you come across a good source of where to get these wheels, it would be 
great if you could let me know where.

Best of luck,
-steve
