I am finally ready to start building my buggy which means I need to find the wheels I want to use. I am looking for a set of 3 or 4 bigfoot wheels similar to this:

I am also looking for a good dry lake bed wheel. I will need 4. Something similar to this would be perfect:

My buggy will be very heavy as it is for 2 people, so I will need a strong wheel. My axles will be 20mm. I am in California and would prefer to find something within the states.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Here is a link to the Landsegler wheels I use.

They are in Germany, but it's quick and affordable shipping.

I really wanted to use the landsegler wheels but they would not sell them to me as my buggy would be too heavy for the wheels. Here is the buggy I am building:

What do you expect total weight with riders to be?

about 450 lbs.

Hmm. Stephan Van Bommel rides them on a conventional buggy and he's within 75 lbs of that. You are using 4 wheels instead of 3 so I'm surprised it passed some limit they thought your buggy surpassed. I was sold on their strength after watching Stephan ride on 2 wheels with his and the wheels took it in stride.

You might try to convert some motorcycle wheels to the task.

I think i may have to. That would be easy enough for the desert set although I don't know where I would get hubs... Also my buggy is 3 wheels not 4. I figured the landseglers where fine after seeing that also but apparently they don't want to take a chance.

Have you considered these discs from buggykiteshop? http://www.buggykiteshop.com/index.php/buggy-aluminum-rim-1-...

I think those look like a good way to go. Does everyone just buy from Europe? Im surprised theres no dealers in the states.
