Bentley The wheels youll need are 6 inch rims. They are from superkarts. The wheels youve probably been looking for are 5 inch rims and they do look smaller. I have a pair of 6 inch front wheels left over from when I raced superkarts so Ill grab some photos tonight If I remember and get them off to you. they are already bead locked both inside and outside as its a requirement when racing.

Bents heres the link to the company I used to buy my wheels from. very good quality and would take an absolute beating all season with being damaged. they have different widths to work in different applications. hope this helps you out buddy
