Pedal car wheels ??

Building a Wooden 7 for my little-un, so Im after some 12 inch(or similar) Plastic Pedal car wheels and tyres, only one company i can find with spoked wheels but they are £42 a set - my budget was £50 for the whole car.!!

And body got any or can point me too right direction, Google is pain in the rrrrrrr's when you put the word wheel!

????

Not spoked, but if I recall correctly "Screwfix" do a range of wheels which may fit the bill. HTH RayScrewfix

What are you using as stub axles?


I need to make one for mine as well. I was thinking of ATV parts though.

Mega expensive as we do not have many in Greece.

Not sure if they'll be big enough for you? Largest is 25cm?

I made a go-cart and used some plastic BMX style wheels from a kids scooter but I've also seen pneumatic tyred, pressed steel wheels at autojumbles for £7 a pair. Same as these but cheaper! http://www.northerntooluk.com/tyres-and-wheels-and-castors/pneumatic-castors/10in-pneumatic-tyre_wheel-standard_1343E.html

Thought of trying your local Mobility scoorter place for a scrap scooter?

Probably a good donor as well!
