What are some good sites that offer larger wheels then the 8" offered by Andymark. I'm not 100% on which type. I think we decided omni-wheels will be in our drive train. I just am looking for a site that sells the same types of wheel just bigger.

Just as a friendly suggestion, if you are planning on going over the steel bump and not the bridge, those omnis will get wrecked after a couple matches.

Our team has the exact same concern. We are short in resources and equipment to make our own wheels.

However, we are now looking into http://www.skywaywheels.com

The wheels were used in earlier FRC competitions.

Being a new team, we still haven't fully apprehended the hubs sizes and sprockets we can possibly use. Skyway actually customises your hubs, and we are now working on getting the one which fits out Kitbox chassis

If they were metal omni wheels with metal rollers they should be fine with the bump. I did see that site but I didn't see omni wheels offered. The biggest tthe seem to sell is 8"
