Hi All, new to this site. I am hoping for some help on off the shelf large diameter wheels for a land yacht my son & i are building. I bought a set of 2 piece aluminium wheels from David Rose in adelaide some years ago if any body has any info or can guide me it would be appreciated.

cheers Ferg

Some info on your wheels with pictures would help us help you! In the mean time read further in the construction pages as there are a few pages devoted to wheels!

the wheels you have are probably 20" or 24" but would need to see some pics. weare using a range of wheels these days as there are some great tyres on the market now, and its getting better. lots of questions welcome

do keep in mind to make your foot area where you will steer comfortably wide enough. I make my foot pedals 300mm wide ,but you need the seet at about 350, even 400 when you add feet .
also ,if its a class 5 make sure the front of the seat is behind the mast, and the overall length( centre of front wheel axle to rear of seat) is under 3500mm
