Where to buy cool rims?


Hey ! I'm rebuilding a Blokart and having the frame powdercoated and and I'm gonna get all the cool upgrades but I don't have a line on cool rims. The stock ones are barrow size but plastic (not sure of the axle size yet) and I want something cooler, maybe aluminum --so where's a good source to buy ?

check Kent (A wind of Change) and Jon (Kite Buggy Speed Shop)
Does your blocart use a smaller sized hub than a buggy? The outer size of the tire is the same but I thought blocarts had a 6" hub instead of 8" on some?

Yea, not sure. I never paid attention to the wheels much. I guess I can go up a size on the rims if the Blokart axle fits the rim though. I'm not going to race it so being class legal doesn't matter to me.

Thanks!

Martin Blais found some great looking aluminum rims ($) that fit the BloKarts. The buggy rims are too big and would not work on the front fork. His company is Bellwetherbanner.
