still looking for wheels.
hello guys, i´m from spain and i´m in the process of building my skates.
Well if already found the rails for the frame and the spacers, but i´m having real problems on findind 12" non spoke wells.
Can you guys gimme some advice on where to look for them? No bike shops here have those kind of wheels. At leats that i have seen.
i have looked in industrial machinery shops but they have those little ones for trolleys.
I also wanted to ask if anyone has exact meassures for a roces skate. the are the same model as the one shown in the build your skate section.
Any guidance will be apreciated.
Many thanks to DOOM WHEELS for all this ideas.
Sorry for my poor english.

thanks for the hint! I was looking for some skyways on ebay but i was only able to find 20".
I foind 12" wheels at a medical shop, they are 35 dollar a piece with tires and everything.
I found some kids bike with skyway type rims but they are super rare to find.

hey a friend of mine gave me these wheels for free. I got some good bearings for them. what do you guys think of there type wheels?
With these wheels, should i still keep the front wheel offset?
I also got a question regarding the spacers, are pvc tubing strong enough?
What you think of the look of the skates? old regular tarmacs ; )
Thanks a lot in advanced! Can´t wait to get em done. ![basskDoom.jpg - 42kB basskDoom.jpg - 42kB](http://www.powerkiteforum.com/files.php?pid=11044&aid=249)
