At first look I knew this was a 604 wheel. Simply amazing.

One question I have: It appears as if there is neither a key pattern nor hex pattern inside the wheel, and I can't find a place to put a sprocket on, so how are you going to drive the wheel? :confused:

Thanks! We are going use a 1/2in hex broach, as soon as we get one.

Whats the function of the 6 holes on the outside of the rim? Beautiful looking hubs though.

The wheels are two halves and the tread is clamped in between. The 6 holes attach the two halves.

Looks great!
Very similar to our setup as we just completed our "X" inch 2 piece wheels also.

We were wondering on where you were planning on ordering your belts and what the lead time on ordering them was?

I meant what are you using for the tread that wraps around the wheels? Unless I misunderstood and this is a six wheel drive, rather.

This is for a six wheel drive. The tread we use for each wheel is similar to this: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0523.htm
