5 inch wheels

Translate This Thread From English to

Threaded View
Hi all,
Could anyone tell me where I can get some five inch wheels. The only
ones
that I could find on web where 2.25 inches wide and where 25.00 USD
for two. I only need the wheels to be a half or quarter inch wide, I
don't want to spend more that 5.00 USD per wheel.
Thanks

Have you checked with your local hobby shop handling off-road model RC cars
and airplanes?



Re: 5 inch wheels


McMaster-Carr and MSC Direct have a large assortment, although the
shipping can be pricey (but fast!).

You can get some 6" lawn mower wheels at Home Depot & maybe 5 inch
ones.

You might also try searching for "caster wheels" in Google and/or
eBay.

Good luck !

Five bucks a wheel for 5" wheels pretty much leaves one option: plastic
replacement lawnmower wheels. You can usually get them at a home
improvement store. Harbor Freight usually has them, too.

Otherwise, it's the surplus catalogs. If you're lucky.

Another thought: "window shop" in somewhere like ToysRUs and you
might find a child's toy with suitable wheels where you can scrap
the rest of the toy and just use the wheels. I found my favorite
wheels so far doing almost that - I noticed the wheels on an
electric scooter, then found a replacement parts source for that
same model scooter on the web.

Good luck again !



Re: 5 inch wheels

I would be interested to know what that replacement parts source was. I
like the look of some of those scooter wheels.

Keep in mind the pulley is glued to the wheel. It's an HTD 3M pitch
pulley.
They're great !

Re: 5 inch wheels

Hay, thanks guys. I got some wheels from one of the local hardware
store. 6" but they work and only where 4 dollars.
Thanks again

Re: 5 inch wheels

Can you use these? Four for $8.
