Helicopter nose wheels would be a perfect size, problem is, they don't throw them away. Everything is sent back to be overhauled. I would be spending time looking at another option Tonz. I spoke to a mate who is in the Industry and he said the same thing, too hard.

Thanks fellas..
Funny thing is; the bloke I was trying to contact in Tassie , called back last night and still has the aircraft wheels mentioned in above link..
Speed rated to 120... MPH.
mmm. Should be good enough..
Problem was the size... Too big ,at 19" OD tyre diameter.
Looking at some small trailer wheels off those e-bay folding type trailers..
John IN2 , had one from memory..
Crazy subject but enjoying the journey..

10" isnt too big but finding tyres to stay under the 17" OD might..
I like those a lot..
Thanks Henry

Tonz,
Been thinking about this,
What about golf cart wheels or the wheels off the mobility scooters ?
